The life of an ex-convict

[Strattonred]

Hi, thanks again for all your help, I am in a rush and have to go out... so do not have time to go through all  the information properly - but I just quickly checked this thread quickly and wanted to say that I believe Charles's wife in England was Anne Rouse, who he married in Colesborne, Gloucestershire.

If my research so far is correct, then I believe that Charles was born in Purton, Wiltshire, England. He married Anne and they had three children: Mary, Prudence and George (not sure about George's birth date as he seems to have been born too late to be Charles's son)... So I am unsure about a connection to Ellen Selwood

Hi, I'm the son of a Sellwood from the London region. Middle name Charles as my father. The Charles Middle name was because his father was Charles Sellwood named after his father who was also Charles Sellwood. My father never met his real father so descendant wise I get a blank. My grandmother owned pubs around London I was told but as far as where or what happened to the original Charles Sellwoods is mystery I would like to know also. My father was told his Dad did end up having a family afterwards but that's it. Somewhere out there is distant family members.
