I have found that my great aunt's married name was Selina Borne and that she is on the 1901 census living in Plymouth.She was born in the channel islands in 1876. If anyone has access to this census I would be very grateful for the details of her household.

Thank you for that Roy and Kath I have been told that her husband was in the navy so that would account for her single state, I will have to wait for the next census return for more details, but again thank you both

Ah, in that case she is at the same address as her parents perhaps. I'll get you the details.

Thank you Kath her parents are John and Selina and my grandfather Henry, I did find the record but at the time did not know my great aunts married name so did not make the connection. There is another mystery about it and its Peter , the boy living with them. In a previous census he was living with another branch of the family in the channel islands but I have not been able to work out his connection to the family

Just an interesting up date. A second cousin contacted me through G.R. and she has told me that John Borne was in the navy, his ship was sent to Australia, he jumped ship and was never heard from again!
