Hi, I've been looking for this for weeks now and still no sign of this relation! In 1901 a Henry Kitchen (abt 1872 - Nottingham) is living with his wife Selina nee Burchnall (abt 1864 - Plumtree, Nottingham) and their 2 yr old daughter Agnes (I have her birth cert and therefore her mothers maiden name) in Loughborough, Leicestershire. In 1891 Henry still lives with his parents in Notts, so I can assume he married after this. I can not find any sign of a Selina Burchnall anywhere! There is a Selina Clurow (different spelling on every census!) born in Plumtree Notts in 1866, but I can not find a marriage for her to a Kitchen. Could the name on birth cert be wrong? If she had been married before, is this the name she would use? I'm really stuck so any help would be fantastic! Vicky
