Hello everyone,

Looking for any information about the Selwyns and the Vailes who lived in Westbury on Severn. I know Rosa Maria Selwyn was born 1846 in Awre and married Samuel Vaile in 1863. They lived in Westbury on Severn and had seven children (not a pun), although moved to Gloucester some time in the early 1870s, when only three of their children had been born.

Alice Maud Vaile was their youngest daughter. She had an illegitimate baby in 1906, my great grandmother, who was raised partly by one of Alice Maud's brothers (Ebenezer James Vaile b. 1874) according to a 1911 census record.

But our limited amount of family history runs that Rosa Maria Vaile brought my great grandmother up and that at least some of them were in service, possibly in the Gloucester/FoD area. I want to find out more about this and would love to know where they were in service. Does anyone have any information on them that you might have come across? Or any hints/tips on finding out more?

Thank you so much in advance!
