Hi Gadget,

Not too sure about my Irish history, I have been to Dublin, went to Kilmainham Gaol, what a bleak place this is(was). It held some of the people from the 1916 rebellion, and was a very cruel place. I thought the break up was then but I stand to be corrected.

Isabella Jane disappears in the 1861 census too, I pick her up as a 22yo wife of James B Peacock in 1871.

Strange all the other children are still at the Leith barracks with Selina. Do you think she was mis-read or was away at finishing school

Hi Gadget and Mongoose,

I suppose she may have been abroad in a "finishing school" but did they go as young as 12 yo?

Just about complete with thisone what do we still need to prove?

Selina Wathen's mother's maiden surname 

[Gadget]

John Wathan and Mary were both born Gloucestershire. i have found a marriage for a John Wathen and a Mary Turner, Wellington, Herefordshire , 1 July 1825 and another to a Mary Davies, 4 July 1824, Brilley, Herefordshire.

I think it will have to be William's birth cert

Hello again Barry 

Have you thought of getting the Wills of George and ,possibly, Selina?

If you have the date and place of death, you can get copies by post from York. The full details are  Click here

They might add an extra dimension to your research

Gadget I have uploaded the newspaper article to George's page on the web. Its not often you get such a well publicised figure. I like the part about him prancing around Northallerton on his white charger!!

Barry
