Emily Selleck married William Damerell  (born 1813 Shaugh Prior) on 1842 May 15 in Plymouth. Was her father the George Selleck who had the farm at Whiteborough in Shaugh and who was her mother - was she Nancy Maddock?

I have these two in my tree. William DAMERELL was the son of William DAMERELL & Susannah MADDOCK.
Emily SELLECK was the daughter of 'George (farmer) & Nancy of South Pithill and was baptised as Emline SELLECK 27 June 1813. George SELLECK married Nancy MADDOCK 18 April 1806 at Shaugh Prior.

Thank you again DOB for your help. And if I might ask - then were William and Emily first cousins?
Was Nancy Maddock sister to William's mother Susanna, both daughters of John Maddock and Ruth Gidley?
