Hi Janet
My name is Bill Stratton, Geoff Selway was my cousin, his mother and mine were sisters, Geoff passed away quite a few years ago now, I do not remember the date. As I live in Australia, we only get snippets of news about the family remaining in the UK.
My grandparent were, William George Phipps and Elizabeth Ellen Lee, both of the Forest of Dean. They lived in Tonmawr, Neath in South Wales, where Geoff Selway was born. All of my relatives live local to that area to this day.
My wife Betty and I emigrated to Australia in 1966 and have visited UK a few times, we are now both retired. Betty has been doing the family tree, and is investigating the Stratton and Smart trees, and does a bit now and again.
If we can help you in any way just ask.
Regards
Bill Stratton
