Would someone please be able to tell me the parents of Selina Eskrit born 1859 in Ferryfryton Yorkshire. I have found her in the 1881 census listed as grandaughter but the other family members in the household are not old enough to be grandparennts as the eldest is 21. When Selina married her father was down as Joel but he and his wife Elizabeth were born c 1814 so I'm not sure about this . Any help would be appreciated. I did try on bmd but - 'no records foumd'

1861 census for info......

Thanks all, I suppose Selina could have been a little suprise for Joel and Elizabeth but
a bit late in life for them and obviously Elizabeth wouldn't have been old enough even if birth years were guessed. Thanks for the extra information too.

Selina is clearly recorded as granddaughter in 1861

If you wish to know her mother’s name, you will need to get a copy of her birth cert

i think it is ann elder daughter of joel and elizabeth think they only had the 2 daughters
elizabeth would have been too young
