HI MICHELLE, I AM WRITING TO YOU AS I WAS TRYING TO FIND THE ORIGIN OF THE NAME SELMES, (AS I HAVE INHERITED THIS NAME AS LIKE MY 2 BROTHERS AND MY SISTER HAVE, THROUGH MY FATHER. MY FATHER'S FATHER DIED SOME YEARS BACK BUT AS FAR AS WE KNOW THE NAME SELMES WE ROOTED BACK TO HASTINGS, BUT THIS IS AS AR AS WE HAVE TRACED. WITHIN THE FAMILY WE HAVE HAD MANY THOUGHTS ON WERE THE NAME SELMES COULD HAVE ORIGINATED. WE DO BELIEVE HOWEVER THAT THE NAME SELMES MAY NOT BE ENGLISH BUT POSSIBLE GERMAN. MAYBE GERMAN JEWS ASCAPING WAR, AS WE BOTH KNOW HASTINGS IS WAY DOWN SOUTH ON THE BORDER AND WOULD BE AN IDEAL PLACE FOR SETTLING AT THE TIME. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO NOTIFY YOU THAT MYSELF MY 2 BROTHERS, MY SISTER AND MY FATHER ALL LIVE IN STOCKTON ON TEES, NEAR MIDDLESBROUGH AND ABOUT 45 MIND FROM NEWCASTLE. FROM READING YOUR MESSAGES I WAS QUITE INTRESTED WHEN YOU SAID YOU BELIEVE ONLY 1% HAVETRAVELLED FURTHER NORTH PAST LONDON, AS YOU CAN SEE I THINK WE MUST BE THE 1%. HOWEVER IN A NEARBY PLACE CALLED DARLINGTON THERE WAS ONCE A REVEREND SELMES, I KNOW THIS AS WE WERE THE ONLY PEOPLE LISTED IN THE PHONE DIRECTORY, SO AS I KNOW THAT THE REVEREND WAS INDEED MALE AND HAD TO OF KEPT HIS SURNAME THEN INDEED HE WAS PART OF THE SELMES CLAN POSSIBLE INCREASING THE LOW RATE OF THE NAME SELMES. IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT THE NAME SELMES I WOULD BE VERY PLEASED IF YOU COULD KINDLY INFORM ME OF THIS.
YOURS THANKFULLY,
WAYNE SELMES
P.S. INCASE OF YOURSELF TRYING STILL TO TRACE THE NAME SELMES, I WOULD LIKE TO INFORM YOU MY FATHERS NAME IS ROBERT ABEL SELMES, AND HIS FATHER WAS ROBERT JAMES SELMES..
