I was interested to read this posting as an Emily Selby was mentioned, married to Edwin Mason.

I believe this is the Emily Selby (1878) mentioned on the 1881 Census as living with John and Emily Selby at Clearwell Mene, stated to be their daughter. However, I could find nothing more about her until fairly recently when looking at the family again and the 1891 Census, I realised that John and Emily's eldest daughter, Ann, who was married to Milson Smith in 1883, had a daughter called Emily (1878) and this filled a piece of the jigsaw. I hadn't got round to looking for a marriage in the name of Smith. However, I think this has solved my problem as on her marriage to Edwin Mason she is named as Emily Selby Smith, and her father as Milson Smith. I will now be able to update the Selby family further by studying the rest of this posting.

Thanks again Slowhands. You are a star!
