Linda,

My wife's maiden name is Selway, and she is a descendant of the William & Sarah that are shown on the Census extracts you received. There was a Morgan connection to the Selway family in about 1880 ... is that your link?

I am trying to find the family of William Selway, age 41 approx. His wife's name was Sarah, age 44 approx. Both were born in Devon and were living in the registration district of St Thomas. Any help would be much appreciated. Kind regards, Linda.
