I am looking for information on Selina Lunn born about 1840-41 in Smethwick, Staffordshire. Her parents possibly John Lunn and Ann. Selina married Robert Tipper about 1862. They came to US in 1863 with 2 children Robert and Elizabeth. Anybody have any information on Lunn family?

Registration District Kings Norton
Sealina Lunn
Vol. 18 p. 418
Tanja :)
Do you know the Westmidlands BMD site? Might be worth checking http://www.bmsgh.org/wmbmd/

Tanja,
Thank you for information. The 1861 census info I did have and these are the ancestors I am looking for. I did not know about the Westlands BMD site. I will look into that. The information from freebmd.rootsweb.com is most likely Selina I am searching for. I can order a copy of her birth certificate from that.
Thank you again,
Andrea

This is correct family. I did not know where Thomas Tipper was born so this helps quite a bit. Robert was born in Radford about 1841 but 1841 census did not show where his father was born. There is a mention of glass works as occupation in both Lunn and Tipper families and this also points to them being my ancestors. Robert Tipper worked as glass maker, his son Joseph worked as glass maker, his son David (my great grandfather) worked as glass maker.
Thank you,
Andrea

Hi Andrea,
is Mable on the Staffordshire look up requests also family
Donna
-
Donna,
Sorry but who or what is Mable?
Andrea
-
Hi Andrea, go to Staffordshire look up request and Mable is the one i answered tonight
Donna
-
Donna,
I honestly don't know who Mable is. I checked Staffordshire look up requests and saw her post. Unless this is someone who found one of my other messages on different web site and is trying to help me. If she is family that I don't know of I would love to find out who she is. I can send her a private message and find out.
On another subject, do you know of any web sites where I can print a map of England showing the different counties? I am jumping around to different areas and I don't exactly where each county is or was. I am also looking into my mother's side of family and they were all from either Devonshire or Cornwall. It would help to look at map.
