After her first husband's death in 1915 Selena born Davison in Filby, Norfolk in 1869 married a widower Thomas Barker from Mutford. He had four sons and died in 1956.
Has anyone any more information on my great grandmother please. I believe she ran a boarding house in either Lowerstoft or Great Yarmouth and may herself have died in 1945.
