ROBERTS family from Forest of Dean (General)
I am looking for the maiden name of my gt grandads wife. My gt grandad was Leonard eli Roberts b)c1884 east dean, son of Thomas & Emily Roberts. he would have been married sometime between 1902 & 1911. His bride was called Selina jane? this is the name shown on her grave stone here in castelford, Yorkshire. But i have also been told that she was sometimes called Jinnie or Josie. I am in need of her maiden name to continue my research.
many thanks tracy

Hi,
Do you know how old she was when she died?
The only Selina Jane who is about the same age as Leonard is Selina Jane Way Baptised 1881 Chepstow Monmouth.
I looked through the parish records with her christian name and in the surname box put A*, then B*, then C* until I'd gone through the alphabet. There are a couple of others but 8 to 10 years older than Leonard.
Have a look.
Regards
Julie

If you are able to supply names of children from the union we may be able to track down the surname by searching Birth Indexes.

he would have been married sometime between 1902 & 1911.
I'm assuming you know where they are in 1911 (The 1911 census for England and Wales was taken on the night of Sunday 2 April, 1911) - if so can you share that as it may help find the marriage or children born after 1912

FreeBMD (on the Net)
Mid-way through the 'Quarters of 1911' (and from then on) - the mother's maiden name also appears on FreeBMD records
Look for the baptism of children born 1911 onwards - and the Mother's surname will be there
