| Notes |
- BIRTH:
- Year of birth would be 1841-1842, according to age (88 years) in entry for "Mrs. Luce Anne Sellier, 88" in Obituary section of Trinidad Year Book for 1931, page xliii.
- Full date of 6 January 1842 in unsourced family history information on ancestry.com.
- Unsourced information gives her place of birth as Paris, France, but she is not listed in the birth records in the Archives of Paris for that period, and her family seems to be already resident in the Aripo Quarter of Trinidad, so this information is not supported.
NAMES:
Referred to as Am?lie Louis Joliclerc in the 1863 baptismal record of her son, Charles St. Ives Sellier.
LAND HOLDINGS:
Listed as the proprietor of Candelaria cocoa estate (as "L.A. Sellier") in Arima Ward Union in the following Trinidad Year Books:
- James H. Collens, The Trinidad and Tobago Year Book, 1911 (Port of Spain: Government Printing Office, 1911), page 226.
- C.B. Franklin, Trinidad & Tobago Year Book, 1919 (Port of Spain: Franklin's Electric Printery, 1919), page 138.
- C.B. Franklin, Trinidad & Tobago Year Book, 1923 (Port of Spain: Franklin's Electric Printery, 1923), page 176.
POTENTIAL FAMILY MEMBERS:
- In the Trinidad Slave Registers, there are returns in the Personal Slaves Registers for 1828 (Folio 2568), 1831 (Folio 2896), and 1834 (Folio 3349) for Marianne Rigaud Joliclerc, submitted by her husband Constant Joliclerc, of her personal slaves. The first such return mentions that she was formerly Marianne Rigaud Girod, and in 1825, her return (Folio 2178) was in the name of Marianne Rigaud Veuve Girod.
