Hi,
Hope I'm doing this right! :-\
I'm struggling to find any information about Selina Hutchings who according to a couple of census was born in Thornborough or Gt Horwood abt 1835 .I have information that she married Edward Marks (1836-1896) from Gt Horwood in 1856, but anything before this is I draw a blank.Selina & Edward are my great great grandparents & I'd love to find out more about Selina if anyone knows anything :)
Thanks in advance

Thank you so much!! :D
I'd been trying variations of the surname, but not first name :-[
My journey continue ..... (& it's amazing how many coincedences happen in this family tree stuff!)

Hi again, from the Family Search Pilot search site, she was christened as Selinah:-
Selinah Hutchings 16th March 1835 Thornborough Father Joseph Mother Sarah

Thanks again :) You're my hero
This is all dispelling a family myth but I'm happy to find the truth. Jeez though, don't you wish they kept with the same spelling/name etc they were given at birth ;)

Hi Drifty,
It looks like we're distant cousins on the Marks side.
I've been researching the Markses on and off for a number of years now and I've built quite a tree on my website that you my be interested in.
The address is www.tribalpages.com
User ID is "dazmarks".

Hi (Distant) Cuz Daz ;D
How spooky! I has taken a break from the family tree "stuff" for a few months, & yesterday I visited some relatives who had dug out some old picture for me to look at.That sort of started me off again...& then TADA a message from you today!
It was really kind of you to give me a link to your tree, however it seems I also need a password.
I've been building my tree on ancestry website but I think I can only invite views by email (If you want to have a look message me your email addy...)
Hehe, I have a week off next week - idea is to declutter my house.I must NOT start tree building, or I'll need to sleep in my car through lack of space! ;)
Take care
Debbie (Drifty)

Thanks for that Keyboard86 :) (stop encouraging me to abandon the decluttering...... ;) )
I'm relieved to know that this Selinah is "my" Selinah (Thank you Daz!!)
It's so easy to get carried away & then find you have totally the wrong person...that's usually when you see a flying laptop in this area >:(
Thanks again (both) for all your help
