Hi Catherine -  think so - only slight hitch here is we don't have an absolute on it being Selby rather than Selwyn! 

1840 marriages are typed up on findmypast, and that is clearly Selwyn;  really need to see the original of the marriage to be a bit sure, don't you think?

However, gut feeling is yes, it should be Selby - which fits better with the name on Frederick's birth certificate, and explains why there are no Selwyns in Hankerton!

[CatOne]

Yes name needs confirming somehow, I wonder if the other birth certs would show name as Selby/variation of, rather than Selwyn 

[Mum44]

I've suggested that, cat - depends how rich Lilian feels, I guess!

Lilian - I noticed my error too late but it's OK now but they might be cousins perhaps.

Your main problem is not so much a brick wall as a yawning chasm.  If you check the LDS library of films you'll find the most of the films of C of E records end at 1812 yet many N.C. records' films go to 1837.  Records for between those dates are to be found in the County record office I expect although somebody might have transcribed them.

You did not mention where the marriage was carried out so bear in mind that it might indicate their religeous persuasion and reduce the possible church records you need to search between 1812 and something like 1820.

Of course, there may be places near Avening which have had their records filmed but the data not extracted, so that also needs considering.  Parloc - Google for the free parish locator prog. - and the procedure at http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/FindingBatchNos.html can be used in combination to find LDS filming information at nearby parishes.

Regards

Chas

Hello everyone. I posted a message with the certificates on earlier but it does not seem to have worked. I will send the message again. Bear with me. Lilian

[lildav]

Me again, Still not able to send both certs at once so I will try one ata time.

Chas.
I have quite a bit of info on the Hobbs family going back to William 1768 & Sarah Parslo 1758 but if you have anything earlier I would be grateful.

Mum44 & Cat
I am leaning towards Selby as Silbrey is very close. I will send for another cert to see if I can confirm this.

I will send this now and send the certs seperately and one at a time. Lilian
