About Natstand family documents:

A Natstand family document is intended to provide background information concerning the family of a deceased naturalist. It is hoped that such information will form a framework which will help interpret their surviving correspondence, specimens and records. In some cases it will also give an insight into the influences on their early lives and the family constraints within which they worked and collected. We have found that published family data concerning individuals rarely contain justification for dates and relationships and not infrequently contain errors which are then perpetuated. The emphasis in Natstand family documents will be on providing references to primary sources, whenever possible, which will be backed-up with transcriptions.

Although a Natstand biography page will always carry a link to a family document, in many cases these documents will be presented without any further biographical material. We anticipate that this will occur if the person is particularly well known or is someone we are actively researching or have only a peripheral interest in.

The following conventions are used:

Any persons in the family tree with known natural history associations will be indicated in red type. Any relationships will be to the root naturalist unless otherwise stated.

Dates are presented Year – Month – Day e.g. 1820 March 9 or 1820.3.9 1820 March or 1820.3

Dates will be shown in bold type if a reliable reference is presented in the document. In cases where an exact year cannot be given (e.g. it is derived from an age at death), the date will be presented in normal type and preceded with "c" – e.g. c1798. There are some cases where a date is available from a secondary source only (e.g. a published obituary), in these cases it will be presented in italics – e.g. 1823.7.21

Data sources:

Census data have been used, whenever possible, to confirm relationships; they are not considered a reliable source of data concerning age. Contemporary newspaper family notices are considered as reliable sources of relationships and dates; reports and obituaries are treated more cautiously. Parish records generally provide a reliable source of data and digitised images have been used whenever possible. Any difficulties with transcription will be made clear. In some cases only transcripts have been available; errors here are usually confined to spelling. The most important source of this material is the International Genealogical Index compiled by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Utah. National Civil Registration Indexes are considered reliable, as are probate records.

DR. SALEEBY MARRIED. No Bridesmaids or "Best Man." Wearing a dark brown suit, brown shoes, and soft silk shirt fastened low down at the neck, Dr. Caleb Williams Saleeby, the eugenist and advocate of dress reform for men, was married at St. Augustine's Church, Kilburn, to-day, to Miss Muriel Gordon Billinge. The bride wore a black hat, blue chiffon frock of flowered pattern and blue shoes. She carried no bouquet. There were no bridesmaids and no “best man." The bride was given away by Lady Willoughby de Broke. The service, which was a very simple and short one, was conducted Dean Inge, who* has been associated with Dr. Saleeby on several public bodies for over twenty years. The bridal party left in one private car driven by a lady. There were five, people in the car, and the bride sat on her husband's knee. There was no reception. Dr. and Mrs. Saleeby left later in the day for Lausanne, where during the honeymoon they will attend the Anglo- American Music Conference. Dr. Saleeby is to address the conference on Saturday on "Music and Medicine." The bride and bridegroom will not return to England until the middle of October.

[His first wife Monica Meynell, had died on 1929 March 30 and Caleb announced his engagement to Miss Billinge early in May. He had been estranged from his first wife since 1910 (Wikipdia)]
