Hi Brenda

He is indeed a lucky man, I don't usually come on this board, did today and this one caught my eye, Terrance must have given up on finding a living rellie who could possibly help.

I've got the parish records for Nettlebed too so just about to have a look to see if I can find Daniels birth for him, can we get lucky twice in one day. Also live in Marlow myself so might even be able to get photos for him. Off to have another delve

Barb

Hi Beejay,

I am sure that Terence will be very pleased with this new information...........he is a lucky man!

I am just looking for anyone else in the family that he is or maybe looking for.

Brenda

For all those still helping Terence, I have the marriage cert for Elizabeth Harriet Simmonds, her second marriage, to my great uncle Francis Field plus the births of their 2 daughters Frances Esme and Phyllis June Field. Have pm'd Terrance offering copy.
Also have the death of Elizabeth in 1971

Hi Terence,

I do NOT believe that it was D & M's son Henry that married Agnes Sarah Pithers by reason of info below:-

.

Hi Brenda,
After many more hours searching, I'm reasonably confidant that, from your information on Alfred William Simmonds bOND 1875 Wokingham 2c 373, is not the same as William James Simmonds (Son of Daniel/Martha) bJFM 1875 Ruscombe/Wokingham 2c 384.
Furthermore, through your help, I have found that we have a close connection with Alfred William (We knew him as "Uncle Billie"), "Aunt Jess" matches his wife Jessie and, although not knowing about "Kate" 1899, we have very fond memories of "Uncle Sid" Sidney 1910, never married, lost a leg and died 1956 (aged only 46). My gran Catherine Margaret Meads (Simmonds, D/Martha) went to live next door to them in Marlow after her husband Harry died in 1948. Gran lived upstairs, while "Uncle Sid" had groundfloor rooms as a Bespoke Tailor to the gentry.
Cannot find any information for Alfred William in the 1881 and 1891 census before marriage, so now ordered the marriage certificate to find his father to really sort things out. I do have the 1881 census information for Jessie's family.
I now have (some more, some less) information regarding 16 Simmonds families, plus what I have to sort from todays searching. So if I can help someone else!
Daniel/Martha's John Charles and Annie details still seems to elude me at the moment.
Oh, am I correct that D and M's Henry 1873 married Agnes Sarah Pithers1882. Reg: Eton 3a 1431? Again from information from you,
I would have not got this far without your tremedous help Brenda, thanks a million!
Terence.

Thanks yet again Brenda, every item counts to putting the puzzle together.
I must ease off with the searching for a few days as other interests and pursuits are getting neglected!
Again many thanks Brenda.
Terence.

hi Terence,

Yes, it is the same family in 1891 and 1901.

Here is the birth of Rosa Jane Simmonds ( re 1891 census)

Births Mar 1889
Simmonds Rosa Jane Cookham 2c 389

In the 1901 census she appears as just "Jane". So she could be known by her second as was Annie "Blanche" Simmonds?

marriage of Frederick George Simmonds?
Marriages Mar 1880
Marks Ellen Cookham 2c 627
Simmonds Frederick George Cookham 2c 627

.Possible death for Ellen (mother)

Deaths Dec 1900
Simmonds Ellen 43 Maidenhead 2c 241

Thank you very much again Brenda, these 'Annie's' (and all the Simmonds in fact) seem (to me) to be a little confusing!
I am actually looking for the Annie1886 of Daneil1848/Martha1850.
All of their children: John1880, Elizabeth1882, Annie1886, Ellen1887, Catherine1890 and Victor1895 appear to be born in Bisham..
Except Henry1873, Hurley and William1875, Ruscombe.

I have Frederick G1860/Ellen1860 Simmonds with Arthur W1884, Annie B1886 and Rosa I1889 in the 1891 census living at 8 Long Acre Farm, Cookham. Would this be the same family (in your latest info) in 1901?

I'm not sure about Alfred William, he could have dropped his first name early on. As with some others!!
I appreciate your help Brenda, I should not leave it all to you, I will continue with my efforts.
Terence.

Thanks to 'Brenda' (for pointing out more info) also many more to 'Moody Blue'. I was just going to add to many more hours of researching the Simmonds family, but this latest info has been an immense help.

Very glad to have info on Frances and Phyllis (we knew her as June) .
I now have to find their children.
We know that Frances married David Whitbourne and Son Freddie worked in the dairy in Bisham Village.

Annie Simmonds (Dec 1885?) info still remains elusive to me. She is 6yrs in the 1891 census, but my searching has not yet found her 'in service,' as is the the case generally. Have not found her possible early death either!

In this column 'Jonesey' mentions a Harry Simmonds in the Royal Berks Regt, but he was born in 1873!

To end for now, I have received the certificate for Elizabeth's first marriage confirming George Walter Silvey, and, as I have 7 Simmonds families from the different census', I have yet to trace one of the 'witnesses' named Alfred William Simmonds? I have yet to put together another Simmonds family in Cookham/Bisham! The one with Annie Blanche Simmonds! (Parents Fred G/Ellen Simmonds).
Terence.
