Selina Gibins

[JPB]

Hello
I have been searching for many years for Selina GIBINS (Father Joseph GIBINS) believed to be born in Gloucestershire around 1851, but I cannot find her & her family?
She is thought to have married? James HARRIS (But cannot find a marriage) and had two children Harriet HARRIS b 1875 approx. & John Joseph HARRIS ?
She then married Joseph/Jesse GOLDING/GOLDEN/GOLDWING in 1877 in Swansea & had 11 more children from 1878 to 1898 - Thomas, Mary, Pricilla, Alfred, Charles, Ellen, Ethel, Emma, William, Alice & Clarisse. Mary Elizabeth was my Grandmother.
Can anybody shed any light on  Selina & her father Joseph & "husband" James HARRIS, please.
Her later family is known about.
Many thanks for any help.

What is her birthplace on later census - just Gloucestershire? *

* 1891/1901 has birthplace Goldenhill Staffordshire.  Next census also Staffordshire if I am looking at the right family.

Hi
Just GLOUCESTER in 1901 Census but STAFFORD NK (Not known?) in 1911.
Thanks.

Is it 1 B ? As you can see I have a double B and to see it spelt that way is odd.

Also search, if you haven't already , Gibbons, Gibbens, Gibbans and even Gubbins 

I do have a Selina Gibbins in my family but she was born and died from 1838 - 1841 in Beds

It is 1 B on Selina's marriage to Jese GOLDWING but 2 B's on my Grandmothers birth certificate "Selina Golding late Harris formerly Gibbins"
I have always tried spelling variations but without success.

Struggling with this one - does it give an occupation for her father Joseph on the marriage?

Am wondering if she was adopted or he was her step father from a young age - her name might have been changed after birth even her first name 

Plus she doesn't seem sure of her birthplace.

Whereabouts were the Harris children born?

Joseph was listed as a labourer.
Daughter Harriet HARRIS was born in Swansea as far as I can see.
