Sorry, I meant that Aunt Lena was my dad's (gt) aunt - his grandad's sister. I don't know much about David other than by 1909 he was living in Leicester (this is when his 1st child to my knowledge was born) Vicky

'I do know that Selina must have had at least one more child called Selina/Lena as my dad remembers going to visit his Aunt Lena.' Am I reading this incorrectly. Surely if Selina had another child then that would be sister to David and not Aunt. Could David have been a soldier? Maureen

Florence is a servant in the house next door (mistranscribed as 75!) There is no sign of David (my gt grandad) or Selina. I do know that Selina must have had at least one more child called Selina/Lena as my dad remembers going to visit his Aunt Lena. I have been looking for David and Selina for a long time now so any help would be great. Thanks for your time Vicky
