Hello listers I'm trying to sort out two WILLIAM SELBYS who may be the father of CLAUDE CLIFTON HOOPER., born in Pt Sorell in June 1885. 1.WILLIAM SELBY (b. 1843) the son of JOHN SELBY and ISABELLA BEVERIDGE, who married SARAH DADSON. 2. WILIAM SELBY (b. 1841) his cousin, the son of WILLIAM SELBY and CATHERINE ROBB, of whom I have no information at all (William the younger, that is). Does anyone have any information which may help? The birth record does not name a father. Claude married in New Zealand and called himself Selby. There were also more than one ISABELLA HOOPER (oh dear); it would be good to know which line I should follow back. Was she the daughter of EDWIN HOOPER and ELIZAMORGAN, or of WILLIAM HOOPER Aand JULIA MAHAR? Is the middle name CLIFTON any sort of clue? All suggestions gratefully received! Mary in New Zealand
