Hi Lynda

How are you connected to the Selby/Seys families? I had a quick look at my mail on Genes Reunited and the person I was in contact with was a Linda Gatfield in Australia. She had Emma Selby on her family tree but was not interested in that line of the family. I will have a further look at her tree later as I have to go out now but I was interested to see her name was Gatfield as Emma Elizabeth Selby, daughter of Enoch Selby, married William Gatfield from St Briavels and they had a son, Douglas Gatfield, who moved to Australia. I wonder if this is a coincidence or another link? I'm sure that she had a lot of Seys on her family tree but my memory may be wrong. However, I will do a further search later today hopefully.

I have a 'book' on the Selbys and am at present updating this so if there is anything specific you want, please let me know.

If you search for Selby in the Forum you will find quite a bit of information and also look at 'Hewelsfield our Village' on the downloads which includes information on Enoch and George Selby.
