As Selina was baptised at Maidstone shortly after her birth, and her parent's residence was recorded as Mote Road in the parish of All Saints, Maidstone, this is most probably where she was born, but she may not have known this when she gave her place of birth in later census. Her younger siblings Thomas, Albert and Henry were all born at Birling, Kent, England.
The earliest census that Selina is found with her parents (1871) gives her place of birth as Maidstone, Kent.
