Could someone have a look at this family group on the 1841 census please
I'm trying to work out Selina, who's daughter she is and her age...she's given as 11 but if she's George's daughter why does she come under Thomas aged 4? (George was actually born c1810)
Further up there is a Caroline age 15...the 1 looks similar

Allen Beaumont 3
Caroline Beaumont 15
Catherine Beaumont 45
George Beaumont 25
Mary Beaumont 65
Mary Ann Beaumont 25
Salena Beaumont 11
Thomas Beaumont 35
Thomas Beaumont 4

Class: HO107; Piece 1152; Book: 5; Civil Parish: St Michael; County: Warwickshire; Enumeration District: 11; Folio: 40; Page: 18; Line: 8;

Thanks Sylvia

added... Have just found her London Rd Coventry burials, 1868, age 28...so born 1840...but can't find her on the 51 or 61 c

Hi Sylvia

I think the image says "1" not 11. If you look at Caroline's "15" the one is written with a long tail in front, and I think the Selina's one is as well - its joined at the top.
I have seen that a lot and is sometimes wrongly transcribed.

I think this makes her the daughter of George and Maryam, sister of 4yo Thomas. Have you checked freebmd for matching birth entries ?

I've confused you enough with their relationships so I'll stop now.

Ozi.

Oh wow, thanks Ozibird
It looks as if you've found George's parents for me...and I'd never have found Selina under that spelling
Well done, you can always count on help from the GR team :-)

Sylvia - you do realise that Ozibird is just another paying member dont you?

I do sometimes wonder if people think GR are giving all this time and effort in helping members when actually they arent.

Hi Heather
This is what happens when you don't know how to view your own threads, you miss something you should reply to....sorry

Yes I did realise that it's not GR that are doing all the wonderful work. But I still like to think of the people on here (members) as a team, they all give so well of their time and assistance
thanks all, Sylvia

Much appreciated, Sylvia.

Ozi.

Thank you folks, I think I've got it sorted now...what a confusing family!
Sylvia
