Find Ancestors

I am having no success finding a baptism for Selina Bland born 1836. I need to establish her Mothers name. I have a copy of the marriage certificate for Selina (age23) dated 20th April 1858 Lancaster to Charles Skevy (age 22) Her Father is named as James Bland. Occupation Engraver. Any help with this would be much appreciated. Thank you Pam

Aren't the family together on any censuses?

Classic example of the nonsense on some Ancestry trees.

Someone on there has Selina dying in the USA

This is her death

Deaths Mar 1878 (>99%)
Skevy Selina 42 Salford 8d 109

The 1851 census posted by ErikaH - if James Bland is widowed - who is the Mary aged 43, noted as Wife further down the household list ? Think a mistake has been made and he should actually be listed as Married (heavy line drawn through on form)

Occupation for Selina says, Gilder. Thanks for all the replies I will follow up. Pam

James Bland Head - Male 65 1806 - Lancashire, England

James occupation looks like - Keep a Mangle !! (Any advances on that bit please) and Formerly Engraver to Fabric Printer

So possible deaths for James and Mary
