He was married to my grt grandmother Charlotte Goodwin born. 1858 in Paddington. They had my grandfather Richard James Simkins on 24 January 1891 at 6 Gee Street, London, NW1. Richard's birth certificate had his name as Simpkin but he went all his life as Simkins and his family are the same in censuses.

What I find interesting is that at 53 Bell Street was a Simkins family that is connected to my family. They were there in 1861 and 1871. I also found that although the name is Simkins, that it may be spelt with a P this being the case on a few bth entries I got. I cannot find any connection to yours however as they were in the same road Im thinking there could be. Mine were Henry Simkins bn Hertfordshire married to Mary also 5 children. Regards Mark
