Nelson Kempton Seldon, born 1893 in West Caledonia, Queens County
[image shows b 13/1/1893, s/o Owen Cole Seldon + Rosanna Chivers
This is a late rego (1/8/1950) by his bro Roland, and uses the family bible as evidence, and its examination by the county JP]

One finds a lot of late rego's in NS - the province almost went bankrupt, so they shut down rego'ing Bs & Ds for a couple of decades.

Owen Seldon, died 1923 in Liverpool, Queens County
[image shows d 1/7/1923 wid a=61y2m15d, s/o John Seldon + Dorcas Cole - informant=Roland]

Rosil Seldon, died 1910 in West Caledonia, Queens County

Rosanna Chivers and Owen C. Seldon married 1884 in Shelburne County
Item can be found in Registration Year: 1884 - Book: 1836 - Page: 148 - Number: 63

NS has closures for BMDs of 100/75/50y (plus they're 1 y (3m really) behind with updates)

related trees on ancestry which I am verifying.... with known information I have verified.

I don't think Canadian BMD's are as readily available as those for the UK

How is it that you know the names of Phyllis's children and yet are unaware of their birth years?

Henry Bernard French (son of John Henry French) was born September 20, 1908 in 11:40 am, and died February 03, 1971 in Calgary. AB. He married (1) Jean Eagleson. He married (2) Phyllis Mae Seldon, daughter of Nelson Kempton Seldon and Estelle Blanche Simpson.

Births Dec 1908 (>99%)
French Henry Bernard Clutton 5c 418

Have you tried researching these people at all?

If this is a Canadian request, put 'Canada' in your TITLE

If NOT.......give location

Phyllis Mae Seldon married Frank Clayton and had children Edmund Owen and Wayne Marvin. Phyllis also married Henry Bernard French 1908-1971 and had children Estelle Anne and Edmund Owen. Unfortunately I have no dates for Frank Clayton, Phyllis Mae or children Estelle, Edmund or Wayne. Phyllis's father Nelson 1873-1969 born Nova Scotia.
Thanks
