"England and Wales Census, 1871," index and images, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:V5TL-VY9 : accessed 29 March 2015), Selena Evans in household of William Evans, Bilston, Bilston, Staffordshire, England; from "1871 England, Scotland and Wales census," index and images, findmypast (www.findmypast.com : n.d.); citing PRO RG 10, folio 30, p. 13, Wolverhampton registration district, Bilston subdistrict, ED 28, household 63, The National Archives, Kew, Surrey; FHL microfilm 836,424.
And where it has Nukkin, Shropshire For Williams birthplace he also shows up in other censusses as born Sellatyn, Shropshire.. and the Charles.. Evans shows up as born in Welshampton.. and a place called Barden Heath
Elizabeth (Selina's Mom) I also think showed up in one place being born in "Bickford" too.. as well as Ellesmere, Shropshire. (I did look for a marriage for the, to get Elizabeths name as well, but... )
Will have a proper look at those later ( I'm on mi tab right now) when I last looked at those marriages tho I thought there were a few...possible marriages...and why is Selina still hiding out in 81 lol...
And noooooo not a Jones??...what u trying to do to me?? I've had enough trouble w my smiths in England....now the Evans are getting c!ose to Wales and your giving me a 'Jones' ????hehe
Jo? I just looked at what you added (well done) but where you have occ on daughters marriage is miner, no, on Selina's marriqge cert william is 'boatman'

The John wakelam thread was the....other thread, the one that has Selina as being born sedgley (remember, in the smith thread, I got confused because I had spotted another poss Selina family...) This....Selina is married to John Smith son of the William smith I had been hunting....

Can I butt in here please Jo and Andy aka truebritmega
On Jo's first posting on this thread, Jo is referring to Selina Evans (of Lower Gornal) who married John Wakelam and then William Hoggins. Somewhere along the line, this Selina (of Lower Gornal) got mixed up with the Selina (of Bilston) who married John Smith.
Andy's Selina (of Bilston) & John Smith has been sorted. I've been having a look at the Selina (of Lower Gornal) & John Wakelam/William Hoggins and think I've got it now.
