John sellwood born Salisbury 1828

Hi
Thanks for the hint about Benjamin and Jane Hearne, but I can't see a son John.
Am I missing something?

If there was a son John to match your John with the dates you have given he would have been born before the marriage of Benjamin & Jane.  I assume Milliepede was just suggesting  William Henry as a possible sibling as he had a father Benjamin.

Yes
I tried John Sellwood and John Hearne but nothing.
Thanks though for all the effort.

Who is the informant when Ann dies?

What is fathers information when Agnes marries?

[ciderdrinker]

Sorry
i haven't got any of that.
The info is for someone who dropped in to a Family History session before Christmas and is expecting something back at the next one on Friday.
I haven't got a way to get in touch till then.

Sorry

after 1891

John is on the Wednesbury electoral registers at 8 Dangerfield Lane until the mid 1890's (as Selwood)

In the 1896-1898 registers he appears as John Sellwood at 50 Foundry Street. Parish of Darlaston.
(1896 names his previous address)

1899, gone.
So he may have been around when Ann died in 1897
Her burial at Moxley, 13 April 1897.
Age 52

He marries 17th June 1880 at St barts Wednesbury Staffordshire to a Ann Williams widow.

He does.
As he was a widower, there ought to be an earlier marriage for him somewhere!

Interestingly, banns had been called for them the previous year, in June/July 1879, at Moxley. But the marriage didn't happen.

Very sadly, Ann's son Arthur Williams committed suicide in 1883, age 17.
Free article on findmypast in the Worcester Journal, 2 June 1883
Mentions his stepfather. In column 6.

Time is running out

Hi
Yes it is
Brilliant find with the suicide.
That's something I'd never have thought of.
Found the witnesses to the marriage John Sellwood and Ann Williams are Abel and Annie Malborn.
So a lead there.
Daughter Agnes witnesses at her marriage 1899 are her brother Thomas Williams and future mother in law Sarah Ann Taylor.
Not looking forward to a slog through 100 John Sellwood marriages which is the avenue to pursue.

Thanks everyone especially Jonwarn for the suicide article.

Have you got the father’s details now from Agnes’ marriage?
