One Name Studies: A to G / Re: Bullivant family search
« on: Tuesday 13 October 09 00:43 BST (UK)  »
My great grandfather, James Selby (born 1838) and my grandfather George Selby (born 1870) were both Works Managers at Bullivants - the latter from at least 1901 until his death in 1931. George applied for a number of patents with a Bullivant - I think Pelham, from memory. My great uncle Chris set up a Bullivants works in Vancouver in the 1920's. Both he and George were given shares in the company during the Great War. My great uncle Tom (previously
mate of the Cutty Sark probably managed the Leighton Buzzard satellite site during the Great War. So my family has done its bit for the Bullivants. What happened to them?

I see you are interested in Selby families in Poplar. I think the James Selby living in Alfred Street was probably my great great great grandfather. Many thanks - I didn't know about the 1821 and 1831 censuses.

Regard
