| 151 | BIRTH: Full date and location from information provided by brother, Frederick Anthony (Bolo) Krogh. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH (Written by F. Anthony Krogh): "Born in San Fernando, Trinidad on July 11, 1935. Christen studied at St. Benedict's College, Mount St. Benedict, Trinidad and then started work at Trinidad Leasehold Ltd. (later Texaco) at Pointe-a-Pierre in the accounts department. Later he traveled to London, where he studies insurance and worked with a firm of brokers in the City of London for about 4 years.

"Christen always had hobbies including the rearing of aquarium fish and different species of birds, gardening, and in particular the growing of hibiscus. He is a very good painter and sketcher in ink and pencil. His greatest interests, though, are horses, horse racing, and drama. In London he had taken part-time courses in drama and later acted in and produced numerous stage shows in Trinidad. He is particularly fond of English farces. He also has a very good baritone singing voice and partook in numerous Music Festivals in Trinidad with fair success. His love for and knowledge about race horses and the sport of racing in the West Indies, Europe and North America has earned him a reputation as somewhat of an expert. He owned and bred a number of racehorses, some of which were moderately successful. He was for many years the official timer at the Union Park Race Course, San Fernando. "Christen married Judith Mary Collier (b. September 9, 1941) in Port of Spain on February 8, 1975. They have three children in addition to Judith's son from a first marriage: Dallison Mary Krogh (b.

| 154 | BURIAL: Buried with parents in Lapeyrouse Cemetery, Port of Spain, Trinidad. Image available at https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/157729119/alice-sellier. | SELLIER, Alice (I10339)
|
| 155 | DEATH: Living in Port of Spain in January 1831, but her 1831 Slave Register return was submitted on her behalf by another person (i.e., John Louit) due to her being "unable to attend from indisposition," so she might have been in failing healthe time. CONNECTION TO SELLIER FAMILY: - Her listing in her 1831 Slave Register entry as "Ve Josephine Terville Sellier" (i.e., Veuve [or widow] Josephine Terville Sellier) seems most likely to connote that she was the wife of Fabien Terville Sellier. Support for this view is the fact that Fabien Terville Sellier was resident in Port of Spain with a reduced complement of his personal slaves in 1825 and she is living in Port of Spain with two of those enslaved persons in 1831. It is odd that she had to purchase or acquire the two slaves listed with her 1831 entry, as they were born into enslavement and were listed as such in previous Slave Registers. It may be that the means of disposing of her husband's assets at his death was to sell everything and to allow heirs to purchase what they wanted from the estate. - An alternate possibility is that she was the mother of Fabien Terville Sellier and the second wife of his father, Francois Sellier Faucour, with a birth name of Josephine Terville. This would explain why Fabien has a different surname than the other son of Francois with whom he was a co-owner of Champs Fleurs estate in 1819. If this is her connection, then the assumption that Fabien Terville Sellier was dead by 1831 would not be correct. He does not appear in the 1831 Registers, though, so this is considered to be an alternate explanation and not the favored one. | Josephine (I10308)
|
| 156 | DEATH: Wife described as a widow in her 1 March 1753 marriage record in the records of Anse-Bertrand, so he must have died between the baptism of his last child (7 November 1752) and this date. No burial record for him in this timeframe in the rs of Anse-Bertrand was found, though. | GUERY, Jean (I10258)
|
| 157 | DEATH: - Full date of death given as 10 March 1994 in her obituary in the Ottawa (Canada) Citizen, Saturday, 19 March 1994, page H9. - Location of death given as Toronto according to information from her daughter. BURIAL: Buried with daughter Janice-Gail King in Montreal, according to information from her daughter. OBITUARY: The following obituary was published in the Ottawa (Canada) Citizen, Saturday, 19 March 1994, page H9. "SELLIER, W. Barbara (Colquette) "On Thursday, March 10, 1994. Beloved wife of the late Marcel Sellier. Dear mother to Roberta Lynn and her husband, Richard Aqui and the late Janice Gail King. Very dear friend of Edna and Harrison Wright of Ottawa. Funeral service was held on Tuesday, March 15, at All Souls Anglican Church, North York, followed by cremation. As expressions of sympathy donations to the charity of your choice would be appreciated." | COLQUETTE, Wilma Barbara (I10398)
|
| 158 | MARRIAGE: Full date given as 1 March 1753 for marriage of Pierre Lhardy and Marie Fran?oise Sellier (described in the record as the daughter of Pierre Sellier and Marie Faucoar) in the records of Anse-Bertrand, 1753, page 2, right side, first entry.rd available at http://anom.archivesnationales.culture.gouv.fr/caomec2/osd.php?territoire=GUADELOUPE&commune=ANSE-BERTRAND&annee=1753. | LHARDY, Pierre (I10273)
|
| 159 | MARRIAGE: Identified as the husband of Marie Fran?oise Colomi? in her 1828 and later Personal Slaves Register of returns in the records of the Office of Registry of Colonial Slaves and Slave Compensation Commission in the National Archives of the Uniingdom. So, the marriage occurred between January 1825 (when she was still identified as the Widow Archer) and January 1828. ADDRESS: Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago (Personal Slaves Register returns for 1828, 1831, and 1834) BURIAL: Buried in Lapeyrouse Cemetery, Port of Spain, Trinidad. Photograph of tombstone for C.A. Colomie (without dates) is at https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/139234153/c-a-colomie. OTHER RECORDS OF INTEREST: In the 1834 Personal Slaves Register, there is a return (at folio 3318; Ancestry image 455) for Marie Anne Tenebr? of Port of Spain of three enslaved persons--and the return was filed for her by Charles Alexander Colomie. The relationshipen the two was not stated. One of her enslaved servants in this return, Tamasie Bellvue, was purchased from Elizabeth McKay (aka Charlotte Sellier, Charles' sister-in-law). There seems to be some connection here, but it requires further research. | COLOMIE, Charles Alexander (I10342)
|
| 160 | MARRIAGE: John McKay described as the husband of Elizabeth McKay (the widow of the late P. Langlois) in the Triennial Slave Register for L'Hermitage Estate, in the Quarter of Guanapo, for 1828. Since she filed as a widow in 1825, the marriage tooke between January 1825 and January 1828. DEATH: Elizabeth McKay is listed as the owner of L'Hermitage Estate in 1831 and of the same estate under a new name (Mathurine Estate) in 1834, without any reference to John McKay. Further, her 1834 return was filed by her brother-in-law, and nr husband. This would seem to suggest that John McKay may have died before 1831. | MCKAY, John (I10340)
|
| 161 | MARRIAGE: Marriage apparently occurred between January 1816 and January 1819, as the personal enslaved servant listed by Charlotte E. Sellier in her 1816 Personal Slaves Register return on 17 January 1816 was transferred to the 1819 Plantation Slavesster of Paul Langlois, filed on 28 January 1819. The "corrections" entry for Charlotte E. Sellier and folio 1274 in the 1819 Personal Slaves Register records this transfer of Marie Sainte Laodice and states that no further Triennial Return in the Personal Slaves Register was filed for Charlotte E. Sellier. This record is in The National Archives of the UK (TNA), T 71/507, page 178r, "Charlotte E. Sellier," image available in "Former British Colonial Dependencies, Slave Registers, 1813-1834," Trinidad, "1819, Personal Slaves," image 184, on Ancestry at https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/1129/images/CSUK1812_133750-00183. LAND HOLDINGS: - Described as the owner of Maturine Estate in the quarter of Guanapo in the 1819 Plantation Slaves Register, and which is listed as a new plantation name (but spelled "Mathurine") in the list of such names in the register. This was a cocoa plantation. This record of it being a new plantation name is in TNA, T 71/508, page 178r, "Mathurine," image available in "Former British Colonial Dependencies, Slave Registers, 1813-1834," Trinidad, "1819, Plantation Slaves," image 182, on Ancestry at https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/1129/images/CSUK1812_133749-00181. - Continued to hold Maturine Estate in the 1822 Plantation Slaves Register. - It appears that he or his widow sold Maturine Estate between 1822 and 1825. No triennial Plantation Slaves Register return was filed for Maturine Estate in 1825. Instead, the entries for it in the "corrections" section of the 1825 Plantation Slaves Register noted the transfer of the slaves from folios 1258 (on page 103v) and 1459 (on page 138r) to the entry for L'Hermitage estate at folio 1688. These entries are in TNA, T 71/513, pages 103v and 138r, "Maturine," images available in "Former British Colonial Dependencies, Slave Registers, 1813-1834," Trinidad, "1825, Plantation Slaves," images 107 and 141, on Ancestry at https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/1129/images/CSUK1812_133754-00106 and https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/1129/images/CSUK1812_133754-00140. DEATH: - Alive at the time of the filing of his 1822 Plantation Slaves Register return on 12 January 1822, so died after this date. - Described as deceased in the 1825 Plantation Slaves Register return of his wife, filed 29 January 1825, so died before this date. This document is in TNA, T 71/513, folio 1688, "The Triennial Return of Mrs. Widow Langlois by her Father and Agent Peter F. Sellier Esqr. for the Plantation called L'Hermitage In the quarter of Guanapo," image available in "Former British Colonial Dependencies, Slave Registers, 1813-1834," Trinidad, "1825, Plantation Slaves," image 253, on Ancestry at https://www.ancestry.com/imageviewer/collections/1129/images/CSUK1812_133754-00252. | LANGLOIS, Paul (I10344)
|
| 162 | MARRIAGE: - Married surname for Carmen Sellier given as Fraser in records from 1945, 1956, and 1959. - Carmen Sellier was listed by that last name in her 1933 passenger arrival record, so her marriage must have been after that date. - Carmen Fraser was listed as single in her 1945 passenger arrival record, and her 1951 U.S. immigration card states that she was divorced, so the marriage must have ended before 1945. | FRASER (I10430)
|
