Hi Andrew
Thank you for your reply. My great-grandfather Albert was born (as far as we know) in Lydbrook, Gloucestershire about 1844, so on the fact of it, it doesn't look as though there is a connection, but the dates would tie in and a couple of the names have repeated themselves in later generations, e.g. Harriet and Selma/Selena. My grandfather who was born in Gloucestershire (registration is Newnham) in 1875 was Samuel. However, all this could be coincidence, but I welcome anything at all that may help.
Thanks again
Cheers
Carol
