Have you seen this, Sue?
http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/a...4825&cid=-1#-1 Search for "Seldon" to get there more quickly. Quite a few Seldons are mentioned, including Christopher. Last edited by ElizabethHerts; 06-08-11 at 09:50. |

There is this will but the place is rather further south than Landkey. Worth bearing in mind, though. Edit - I think you can rule that out! Last edited by ElizabethHerts; 06-08-11 at 10:20. |

I don't know the relationship of Thomas Seldon to Richard but this could be interesting:
http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/d...&resultcount=8 This (from above) seems to explain somewhat: CHARLES, BARNSTAPLE. 48/25/4/2/5 29 March 1805 Contents: 45 George III Assignment of leases for 2000 years and 1000 years. (1) Elizabeth Seldon of Landkey, widow, relict and administratrix of Thomas Seldon, deceased. (2) John Seldon of Bratton Fleming, yeoman, Christopher Seldon of Landkey, yeoman, Robert Cawsey of Pilton, yeoman, and Mary his wife, and Richard Seldon of Landkey, yeoman (John, Richard and Christopher Seldon, and Mary Cawsey, [B]being next of kin of Thomas Seldon, who died intestate[/B]). Moiety of a sixth share of Thorn Park, in Charles Parish. Consideration: 5s., and undertaking by (2) to assign to (1) 2 leases for 500 years and 1000 years, of a moiety of a field near Maidenford in Barnstaple Parish. I'm not sure about the dying intestate bit, though! Last edited by ElizabethHerts; 06-08-11 at 10:04. |

A couple of burials:
Surname: Seldon Forename: Richard Age: 73 Year: 1829 Month: Jun Day: 27 Notes: Parish: Landkey Town Or City: County: Devon Record source: Devon Burials Data provider: Devon Family History Society There is also this one in Okehampton: Surname: Seldon Forename: Richard Age: 69 Year: 1827 Month: Aug Day: 07 Notes: Parish: Okehampton Town Or City: County: Devon Both fit in time-wise, but the top one more likely. |

I hope this link works for Seldon baptisms at Landkey. No it doesn't - so this is the batch number to search. C051291 |
