Hi Jonathan
I have researched all the Selby family including your part of it. I am in touch with a fairly close member of your family. I will write to you on your e-mail in a few days as I may be going away for the weekend. If you Search Forum I think you will find a few threads on the Selbys.

My name is Jonathan Selby and I grew up in Clearwell. My grandmother lived with her two sisters next to your grandmother Dot on the high street. My father was Jack Selby who was born "out of wedlock" and was considered as a brother by Joe Selby who run the post office in Bream. Username "unknown" has posted that Joseph was his grandfather.

Hi Jonathan, please click on my envelope and write to me privately as I had not found you in my family research (I think I have now) and would like to know more about your part of the family. I have researched the whole of the Selby family so if you need any help I can probably oblige.

Hello Jonathan,
I think our mothers were cousins! I have been researching the Lewis Family for some time. I visited your Mum Olive Selby (nee Lewis) at Sling in 2006. Our grandfathers David & William Lewis were brothers. My Mum was David’s daughter Gwynneth. If you wish to contact me you could message me through this Forum.
Best wishes,
Jo Wheldon

My mother Alice Wood (1927-2018) was a wartime evacuee who ended up in the Forest of Dean. When she turned 14 she went into service and worked at a large house in Newland. She was befriended by the Housekeeper who was May Selby. May and her sister Doll lived in Clearwell and remained close to my mother for the rest of their lives. I recall visiting them in Clearwell well into the 70's. I recall they had a neice or younger sister Sheila and another relative, all living in Clearwell. My mother didn't return to London and Clearwell became home till she married my father Wilf Hudson (1925-1994) from Redbrook at Clearwell St Peters in 1952.
Although my focus is on my Hudson roots in Redbrook and Penallt I have always been curious to find living relatives of May & Doll. My parents wedding photos in August 1952 feature May, Doll and Jack Selby.
