Cissie could be short for Christine or Christina. My husband had an Auntie Cissie who was Christina. But lots of families also called the eldest sibling Sis, so that could apply to Teresa.

wow thats a lot of info! great!

***alviegal*** - are these birth records you found? as it just says records at the top - just so i don't get confused!

and tootyfruity yours are baptism findings?

and madmeg thanks that would make a lot of sense, as I can't find a cecilia or a christine, although there are 12 children supposedly and the guys have found 11 so you never know!

Could this be your grandfather's sister? She married in 1938 so she did not die young. Can't find another Sims/Trowbridge birth.

and mine are baptism records.

Mine are baptisms

***alviegal*** - yes that it my grandfather's birth, he was born 12/05/1920 in islington,

I'm unsure of the top one but it could be right - the sussex bit throws me a bit though, as they were married in Islington in 1913

If that is the sister she would have died very young as I know my grandfather grew up as an only child, so maybe there would be a death cert?

Deaths Dec 1919
Sims Winifred E. 1 Wandsworth 1d 693

Found this looking for young Sims deaths

Sorry Rachel, the Winifred I found was married in 1938 so can't be yours.

no probs,

this is what i've found:

Births Jun 1915 (>99%)
Sims Dorothy M Trowbridge S.Stoneham 2c 191 Scan available - click to view
Births Jun 1918 (>99%)
Sims Winifred V M Trowbridge Fordingbridge 2b 1118 Scan available - click to view
Births Jun 1920 (>99%)
Sims William A _ Trowbridge Islington 1b 531

OK, for clarification this time I'll post what I find, Kate's marriage to William Sims:

Marriages Dec 1913 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Brain Esther E Williams St Olave 1b 369
Brown Kate E Wilkes Islington 1b 369
>>>Sims William Trowbridge Islington 1b 369
>>>Trowbridge Katherine A Sims Islington 1b 369
Wilkes Herbert W Brown Islington 1b 369

This is the only other male Sims marrying a Trowbridge I can find on freebmd.

Chapman Alice Romsey 2c 219
Roberts Sidney Romsey 2c 219
>>>Sims George Romsey 2c 219
>>>Trowbridge Maud Romsey 2c 219

Romsey is bordering Hampshire/Wiltshire, as is Fordingbridge, so I think the Winifred VM Sims is their child.

Leaving just Dorothy M who died 1916

Deaths Mar 1916 (>99%)

Sims Dorothy M 0 Pancras 1b 65

and William A. your grandfather.
