Hi Slowhands

I was just about to write to you when I read this message. I had been looking at a similar one you posted some time ago re John and Jane Selby. On Findmypast I have only been able to find John on the 1841 Census living at Jolly on his own. You seem to have someone else with him. I cannot find Jane and the children at all even looking under Lebey and also street names. I wondered what your source was? I have only recently found out that there was a daughter, Jane, from someone else's research. If I had looked more closely at your previous posting I would have found her then. Although I had found her on the 1851 Census, I did not know who she belonged to.

I suppose that transcribers on different sites such as Ancestry, do read things differently. I have had to write to FindmyPast on several occasions to get things altered as it is obvious from the original that it was copied wrongly.
