    Default William Henry SELLEY, born 1872 in Dorchester or Forston

    William Henry, born May 10, 1872 in Dorchester, Dorset (or Porston or Forston, Dorset according to 1881 census). Looking for info on his parents particularly mother's maiden name. They may have been married in Dorset.

    1901 census:
    Eve M Selley 8 months West Ham, Essex, England Daughter West Ham Essex

    Sub-registration district: Canning Town

    Eve is Eva Marjorie, born Aug. 4, 1900.
    William was born in 1902 and James Arthur February 22, 1905

    I couldn't find William in the 1891 census but he was in the 21st Hussars for a number of years so may have been away.

    I was told that the family went to Canada c1905.
