Hi, Im trying to find out more about my great nan. I can only find her in the census with her married name which was Gillis. They where married in 1905 . Selina had a sister called carrie or kathrine. As far as i know they came from a large family. Some of who emigreated to Australia due to break up of family. All i know is that selina was born in London Bermondsey.
Any help would be most welcome.

yes but we have to work through to get there, you really need her marriage cert to get the right father first !
She may have been born Green but brought up with a different name if her mother remarried.

I did only say that was a possibility, as the others have said you should really buy her marriage cert to know what her fathers name is for sure, otherwise you might be wasting your time in tracing the wrong tree.
