SELLERS family - Colyton 1871 please

[SCH2]

Hi there,

I am looking for the Sellers family of Colyton.
John Paris Sellers was born 15th December 1861 according to his naval records.

There is also a Walter Sellers born Colyton 19th Nov 1855 and I am wondering whether they were brothers as the name Walter continued further down (or is it up?) the family line - I had a great Uncle by that name.

I am also wondering whether I can find out where the name Paris came from - a female member of the earlier family's maiden name perhaps? John's BMD entry has been transcribed as Farris!

Many thanks
Sue

Strange 1871 - same address as 1861 - Fore St Colyton

James Sellers (indexed as Tellers) 57 druggist b Lyme Regis - married

John T 9 son b Colyton

No other members of the 1861 shown so I'll have to do a bit more digging

Hi Sue -

For sure they were brothers.

1861:

RG9  P.1373 Fol 27 Pg 8
Fore Street, Colyton

James Sellers  head  M  47  Druggist  B.  Lyme Regis, Dorset
Sarah Sellers wife  M  42  B. Colyton, Devon
William Goodage  son-in-law  16 B. Exeter, Devon
Thomas Goodage   ~  ~  ~     12  B. Exeter, Devon
Samuel M Sellers   Son  6  B. Colyton, Devon
Walter  Sellers  Son  5  B. Colyton, Devon
Amy  Sellers  Dau  2.  B Colyton

1871

Walter is a Bakers errand boy, living in Kenton.

James Sellers  Head  M  Druggist  B.  Lyme Regis
John P Sellers  Son  9  B. Colyton

Can't see Sarah or the others - will keep looking.

But this is certainly the same father, although the index says Tellers, the image is Sellers!

Hi Mum 44

I think it's the timing that determines the red warning (not too sure though) and we were approx 3 minutes apart.
