  • Notes 
    • BIRTH:
      - Father identified as "Fabien Sellier of the Parish of St. Joseph's" in her Personal Slaves Register return for 1819, which he filed on her behalf.
      - Father identified as "Fabien Sellier of the Quarter of St. Joseph's" in her Personal Slaves Register return for 1822, which he filed on her behalf.
      - Father identified as P.F. Sellier in her Personal Slaves Register return for 1825, which he filed on her behalf as "her Father and Agent."
      - Consistent with her being listed as one of three co-owners of La Marguerite Estate in an 1834 Plantation Slaves Register return for the estate. Pierre Fabien Sellier died in 1831, so this is the first Plantation Slaves Register return for the estate after his death.
      - While a birth record for her has not been found, she is placed ahead of Charlotte Elizabeth Sellier in the birth order, since she is listed before her in the list of owners on the 1834 Plantation Slaves Register return.

      LAND HOLDINGS:
      - Listed as a co-owner of "La Marguerite" Estate in St. Joseph, formerly known as "Marguerite" but listed as a new plantation name in the list of such names in the 1834, Plantation Slaves Register. This record is in The National Archives of the UK (TNA), T 71/519, page 165v, "L'Hermitage," image available in "Former British Colonial Dependencies, Slave Registers, 1813-1834," Trinidad, "1834, Plantation Slaves," image 170, on Ancestry at https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/1129/images/CSUK1812_133759-00169.
