Memorial
"John McHenry
Constable
Died 25 November 1921, aged 60
While on patrol in Milewater Road Gate in the vicinity of Belfast Harbour,
he was shot six times by unknown assailants and killed.
It was speculated that he was shot either by 'Loyalists' as he was a Catholic, or by 'Republicans' in revenge for his disclosure of a bomb plot, but no suspects were traced.
John was buried at Milltown Cemetery."

Selina's father was Henry Totten, she was protestant but was baptised into the Catholic Church in 1880.

'A' Henry and Eliza Totten I would assume a brother to Selina

James Totten possibly a brother

I would suggest you search and see if you can piece together Totten's in Antrim, looks like they are around the Shankhill
and for the protestant ones check the Declaration/Covenant in 1912, if you then click on the signature/file you will get an image of the document showing name, address where they signed and their signature http://applications.proni.gov.uk/UlsterCovenant/Search.aspx

Sorry if I'm a bit slow, but I couldn't grasp why one would assume a brother to Selina, do you have another corroborating bit of information? :)

And this as well, what is the corroborating linkage to Selina/Selena Totten (and variant surnames)? :)
