guys, what have we got on rose simkins exactly.......we think she is bert's wife.......how do the others in that list connect to her....sorry, but it's a lot to take in, and i only started yesterday :-)

If Dorothy was born 7/11/1918 she was 10 in 1928, 20 in November 1938 and 30 in November 1948 .... which means in Jan 1948 Dorothy was still 29. Has your family stayed in Luton all this while ? Dancer x

Another little snippet there that might have helped. Wonder if the uncle was on mums side Agnes Simpkins 16 Offley, Hertfordshire, England Daughter Luton Bedfordshire Charles Simpkins 48 Offley, Hertfordshire, England Head Luton Bedfordshire Emily Simpkins 20 Offley, Hertfordshire, England Daughter Luton Bedfordshire >Leonard Simpkins 18 Offley, Hertfordshire, England Son Luton Bedfordshire Matilda Simpkins 50 Offley, Hertfordshire, England Wife Luton Bedfordshire **Rose Simpkins 14 Offley, Hertfordshire, England Daughter Luton Bedfordshire

thanks, jess....yeah, am 23

Adam. you are not being cheeky at all. Hopefully, even though i cant help do the actual look up that dancer and Chris are doing for you, then at least i can maybe help you to learn - and i dont mean that to sound patronising at all - You know more than you thought you did and have answered, and found out things, to help those that are looking. although i guess you are actually quite young..yes..? Jess

dancer this is how we have worked it out: dorothy was 29 when my mum was born 1st jan 1948........what do u calculate that to be?

dorothy had an uncle called len......and an aunt called minnie (sister to len)

Adam, Are you thinking that Dorothy was DEFINATELY born 7th November ... 1919 and NOT 1918. Some folks can get the year of birth WRONG ! even on Death certificates. The information on Death certs is given by someone who knew the deceased ... but maybe they didn't know 100% when they were born. My own Mothers death certificate gives her WRONG date of birth, and her husband gave those details. He was upset at the time and couldn't think straight ! Bear this in mind ... Even the person themselves lost a few years on their age whilst growing old !! Dancer x

ur prob right jess......all that info......could u break it down poss.......soz, don't mean to be cheeky

Johnathan i have a whole stack of Simkins girls in luton lined up ready when we find her christian name!! I feel bad that i can't help on the 1837 front jess

Adam- if Dot was born in 1918, we would normally guess them to have married before she was born. do you know otherwise? jess

what u found?....sounds eciting

1818 would be a bit early......her name may have been rose,

No Bert/Bertie Wicks marrying in March or June 1818. Dancer x

OK, Chris ...I'll do March & June 1818 ... Dancer x

Only child, guys....oh, and ta for the certificate info :-)

OK ! Its best that we search with ALL the information to hand, or we could spend ages looking in the wrong years ! Dancer x Just nipping to get a drink ... NOTHING on FreeBMD 1906 - 1912

still waiting for info on siblings....shouldn't be long
