If you put Elsie Simons into SEARCH (beneath GR logo top left hand of page) there is an entry for her on a tree other than yours.
You could also try the other names you have.

Sorry I can't help, but it may be worth putting a thread on the records office for anyone who can do an electoral roll look-up, this may give you an address for them.

Best of luck
Dee

hi all,

i am desparately trying to find my grandfather's cousins. my grandfather's brother lived in Australia and died last may. His step daughter has been in contact to say that he received a card from Pat and Rose Simons before he died. He said that these were his cousins and up until now they do not know he has died as his stepdaughter could not find an address for them. his mother was Elsie Emma Simons born 1899 and i have the births of all her brothers and sisters.

i am trying to find which sibling Pat and Rose come from and i am trying to find an address for them. i will list all the info i have for elsie and her brothers and sisters:

William Simons (born 1885, Stratford)
married Jane Rudd in 1908 in west ham and had children Jane 1909,Gladys 1911, Elsie 1913,William 1915, Lilian 1920,Rosa 1922, Walter 1924, Joan 1927 and Irene 1929.

Joseph Simons (born 1891, colchester)
married Kate Deadman 1918 in west ham and had children Victor 1920,Audrey 1924 and Barry 1931.

Albert Simons (born c1893 p.o.b uncertain)
married Rosa Bell 1915 in West Ham and had children Rosa 1917 and Albert 1920.

Ernest (born 1898, west ham)
probably married Rosie Deadman in 1922 in west ham.

Elsie Emma (born 14/08/1899, west ham)
married Frederick James Fagan in 1925 in West ham and had children Cyril 1926 (my grandfather), Lawrence 1930 and Keith 1943.

Gladys Mary (born 1905,west ham)
married George Turmaine in west ham in 1928 and had children Joan 1929 and Kenneth 1930.

Walter Edwin (born 1908,west ham)
marriage details unknown, possibly to a joan.

Rosa Ann (born 1910, west Ham)
married Ernest Mack in west ham in 1935 and had children Peter 1936 and Janet 1947.

i beleive that the rose and Pat simons i am looking for were born on the 23rd of may, but i do not know which year,their parents or where they may be currently. i would love any help or ideas anyone can offer me, i would just like to find them so they can be told that unfortunately lawrence has died as they were still in contact but do not know.

any help would be much appreciated,
Leanne.
