The early part of this Pedigree is taken from one made by the late Dr. J. J. Howard, Maltravers Herald, in tlie possession of the Compiler. Owing to a. gap in the Ightham Eegisters I am unable to make the foregoing Pedigree as perfect as I should wish. Eor instance, the burial of William Selby, who was born 1632, does not appear, but it must have taken place early in the eighteenth century. There is a pedigree at Heralds' College in which William Selby is said to have had twelve children by his first wife Susanna Rainey, of whom only five daughters survived. The baptism of his son John, who succeeded him at the Mote, is wanting. The burial of Dorothy, Lady Selby, in 1641 is missing, but the date of her death is known from the fine tomb in the chancel of Ightham Church to her memory. There are also fine recumbent figures of the two Sir William Selbys, uncle and nephew, in Ightham Church, but there are no other tablets or memorials to the family. In the Mote pew there is a tablet to Sir John and Lady Howell, both died 1682, the parents of Lady Selby and Mrs. William Selby. Mrs. John Selby nee Gifford and her daughter Mary are buried in the chancel of Eynsford Church, with a slab to their memory. Sir Henry Selby and his second wife and son are buried at Pembury without any monuments. At Eidley there is a Chalice given in 1703 by Mrs. Jane Selby, wife of William Selby of the Mote and daughter of the Eev. Henry Stacy, Sector of Eidley. The last burial of the Selby family is that of Mrs. Luard Selby, eldest daughter of Mr. Prideaux John Selby of Twizell and the Mote. She came into possession of the Mote in 1867 on the death of her father. IGHTHAM EEGISTERS.
