but where did she go

I googled christian name Satena and got referred to a Colombian baby naming site - the mystery deepens. I was puzzled by a Selina in my tree and found that victorian families liked to give their children old testament names if they were strict nonconformists to distinguish them from Roman catholics who were named after saints which might explain some of the boys names. I guess you were related to the Bob Geldof of his generation.
