Selina Stenson

[Annie65115]

In 1871, Selina Booth and family were living in Talbot Lane.

In the Leic Chronicle of Sat Feb 12 1876, Selina DAVEY of Talbot Lane was a witness to a robbery.

There are no burials in Welford Rd for a Selina Davy/Davey/Davie

Emily and Kate, whose births seem to have been registered as Booth, seem to have reverted to being called Blagg by 1881 and may have married under that name; I can't find any trace of them as Booth on freeBMD.

Jacob Booth seems to have been lodging with a family in Cheshire in 1881.

 Re the burial of Charles Armstrong, could the age given as 15 be the date? He is recorded as 59 in the index and was Kate Blagg/Booth's husband.
 In the next two censuses, she is recorded as a widow, living with her son, Charles, who was born Q3 1891.
 A probable death for Kate - Dec 1959 in Leicester.

Emily had at least six children - Mary, Clara, Arthur, Nellie, Emily and Lizzie.

It would be interesting to see who is recorded as the father on the two marriage certificates.

 Re my previous message, I have found Charles Armstrong's army record, which shows that his mother was Kate Shelton of 31 Bassett Street. Kate married George Shelton in Q1 1912.

There is a probable death for Kate in March 1957

Initially, Charles was  in the 11th Leicestershire regiment but then transferred to the 16th Yorkshire and Lancashire, when he gave his home address as that of his wife's parents.

He married Ethel Horner on 11th November 1916. She was the daughter of William Horner and Susannah Glover.

There are four possible births for children - Charles 1920, Evelyn 1921, Edward 1926 and Alan in 1927.

Thank you for posting the above.

Re the BMD in 1875 Mary Ann Davy married William Lay and had six children - Elizabeth, William, Edwin, James Forester, Selina and Kate.

It looks as though Kate and Emily were registered as Booth at birth, married as Blagg but baptised as Davy.
