In case you want further info on the Savory line, Richard's son was born in America. Richard and his wife returned there in 1912. If you want more on that let us know as I am assuming it's the Lett family that are your direct line.

Good luck with your research.

looking at that 1891 I think that Selma is Selina Elizabeth Lett

Oh bother his occupation does not match on baptism record


Henry is actually Henry Robert and the baptism 1890 agrees with occupation
