Title: sellers or sellars
Post by: romanby on Thursday 23 February 12 10:57 GMT (UK)
I am researching the sellers/sellars family in the East yorkshire area
My GGranfather was  Richard George Sellers born in Foxholes in around 1857.
I cannot find his birth certificate although I believe he was christened at West Heslerton 13/11/1864.  He married Mary Ann Bulmer at the registry office Scarborough 1877.
Any help with  Richard  G Sellers and his earlier family would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Romanby,

I wonder if this could be the Richard Seller you are looking for as it ties in with what KGarrard has found on the 1861 census?

George Richard Seller

baptism13 Nov 1864
baptism place: WEST HESLERTON WITH EAST HESLERTON,YORK,ENGLAND
birth date: 24 Jul 1857
father's name: John Seller
mother's name: Elizabeth
C01209-2

WHOOPS!! Just noticed that you have already found the above  ???

many thanks for your replies  KGarrard and JJen2

I had already found the family on 1861 census I just would have liked to have found a birth certificate for George Richard Sellers to confirm that I am on the right track . I know his father was called John from his marriage certificate .
I will look into the George Seller b 1858 Driffield District - Foxholes was in this district.
Having already bought 3 incorrect birth certificates I was hoping someone had George Richard and his father John already in their family tree - but i suppose that would spoil all the fun.

You didn't mention that you already had the 1861 census and marriage certificate?

It's usually helpful to mention these things.
