Hi, I am trying to find anyone who has any connection to my father Fred Selby. All i know about his background is that he was born in 1904 in Kingston upon Hull his mother was French and I think called Rosilla? he was the second youngest of 18 and ran away from home at 14 after his mother died and his dad re married. He lived in London for some time around the 1930s. Sorry thats all the info I have.
