Maureen Selley

Hello! I'm Maureen Selley, a retired primary school teacher. At last I have more time to spend on our marvelous shared hobby - Family History. At present, my family tolerates my enthusiasm, but I am working on them!

I live in Devon, England, on the edge of Dartmoor in a village called Horrabridge. It's close to the River Tamar, the natural border between Devon and Cornwall, so I am ideally situated to do research in both counties.

I began Family History in 1987 after my husband Brian died at the young age of 47. Cornwall was special to us, and we spent many happy hours there, particularly in St Ives. I have Cornish links on both my husband's and my own lines, and the more I research, the more Celtic I become! My husband's paternal grandmother was Bessie QUICK, my adoptive father's parents were PRYOR and HOOPER, my mother's maiden name was PRAID, and that's just four of the many Cornish names I have researched. Look at the PRAED ONS website listed below for more information.

I am a member of both Devon and Cornwall Family History Societies,
and Chairman of Devon FHS 2008-2009. If I can be of help, e-mail me!
