Tracing William Simmons b 1848, Shropshire, Maria Simmons b 1846, Shropshire. Dau Sarah Ann 1874, Shropshire, Ruth b 1879, shropshire, Jane b 1878, Shropshire. The above i 've found on the 1881 census, then again on the 1891 census with the additions of sons William b 1881, John b 1885, George b 1889. They were all born in Shropshire and also lived in Shifnal. The early census had NABB as a parish, i think but they all dissapeared by 1901 as i cannot find them on the census, could it be an error and they were transcribed under a diffrent surname? Their son William b 1881 later went on and married my g-grandmother in 1908. Any suggestions?

Have you tried Simons or Simonds or any other variations yet?

Yep!! There they were along with alot of other 'missing' rellies, my god did'nt realise this could be a major problem when i started doing my tree!! Now it seams i will be busy for a while sorting through it all and matching everybody together. Came across three missing rellies and their very large families, Ha, ha but this is what makes it so addictive! Thanks everybody for your help. :)))
