Family life

Selina was the daughter of the Bristol printer and bookseller, Thomas Mills. Selina went on to marry Zachary Macaulay in August 1799.

The Bristol Elopement

Caricature of the Bristol Elopement by Thomas Rowlandson

Selina got caught up in the elopement of Clementina Clerke, a wealthy heiress being educated at the school. Rowlandson's caricature is inaccurate: an accomplice posing as a servant delivered a letter to Selina purporting to come from Clerke's guardian requesting that Clementina take the carriage provided in order to go and see him immediately. Selina and Mary saw Miss Clerke into the carriage, but only later realised they had been duped.
