Lucy, from the IGI, is the illegitimate daughter of Rosina Gooding. This is confirmed from parish baptism records. Rosina subsequently married Thomas Selley. In the 1891 census, Lucy is described as the sister-in-law of Thomas Selley. Was it too much of a social disgrace to admit that his wife had had an illegitimate child? I suspect so.
Thomas married Rosina GOODING, daughter of William GOODING and Anna POTTINGER, circa Dec 1875 in St Thomas, Exeter, Devon, England. (Rosina GOODING was born circa Jun 1852 in Colaton Raleigh, Devon, England and was baptised on 24 Mar 1852 in Colaton Raleigh, Devon, England.)
