NOTE

The family lived at Thom Hill Cottage (?), Stalbridge, Dorset. Dorcus Louisa wasn't present. The familys immigration year was 1873 & they turn up at Margaretta, Erie, Ohio, USA in the 1880 census.

I couldn't find them in the United States Immigration & Naturalization Records.

George & Selina are recorded living at Townsend, Sandusky, Ohio (1900). His Nephew Albert Francis is also present. The 1910 census records them at the same place & also present is a Grandson, George R. Greenman, 1899, Ohio. George must have died before 1920 as Selina is recorded as a widow living at Townsend, Sandusky, Ohio (1920) with her son Arthur & his family.

Selina is still alive (aged 79 yrs) in the 1930 census & living alone at Green Creek, Sandusky, Ohio.

Interestingly, a Cousin of George's, John Duffett & his family also lived in Townsend, Sandusky, Ohio in 1900.
