Hello, Im looking for any info i can on my Simmons at the moment and have recently found out some new info. Obviously im researching it as much as poss but i can't seem to find anything can any one else help? Do you have lookup access etc. If you can help i would be so grateful. Ok here goes: They are all children of Thomas Simmons (1852) and Emma Hazelden (1852)Sevenoaks Kent. JOHN SIMMONS (1871 - 1942) married twice not sure of dates and not sure of the ladies maiden names would like to find out if there were any children though (is there any way i can find anything on this with such little info) He married an Ellen and a Lizzie (not sure if this was her name or a nickname for Elizabeth). WILLIAM THOMAS(b 1876 d ?) married Flo ? and had 2 children. GEORGE HENRY (b 1878 - 1902) CHARLES ARTHUR (1879 - 1955) married Edith ? and had 3 children FRANK HENRY (1882 - ?) married Ethyl ? LOUISE MARY (1885 - ?) married Sydney Layson and had 3 children ALFRED (1887 - 1919) married Ruth ? 1 child EMMA (1888 - ?) married Robert ? had 6 children FANNY EMILY (1890 - 1919) FRED (1891 - ?) married Lottie ? had 7 children. I know its all a bit sketchy but its all i have. If anyone can help in anyway it would be great Thankyou

Hy. Simmons abt 1878 Sevenoaks Weald Son 'Anchor', Sevenoaks, Kent, England Susan Ann Simmons abt 1880 Sevenoaks Weald Daughter 'Anchor', Sevenoaks, Kent, England H Thomas Simmons abt 1852 Sevenoaks Weald Head 'Anchor', Sevenoaks, Kent, England Wm. Thos. Simmons abt 1877 Sevenoaks Weald Son 'Anchor', Sevenoaks, Kent, England Jess **Thats brilliant , thanks!!

yes Jess thats the correct family there were 15 children altogether although 1 of them died after a month so probably wont show on census lookups etc

1891 -all living in Seal 1 Simmons, Alfred 4 Sevenoaks, Kent Son 2 Simmons, Charles A 11 Sevenoaks, Kent Son Simmons, Emma 38 Sevenoaks, Kent Wife 3 Simmons, Emma 2 Sevenoaks, Kent Daughter 4 Simmons, Fanny E 1 Seal, Kent Daughter 5 Simmons, Frank 9 Sevenoaks, Kent Son 6 Simmons, George H 13 Sevenoaks, Kent Son 7 Simmons, Louie M 5 Sevenoaks, Kent Daughter 8 Simmons, Susan A 10 Sevenoaks, Kent Daughter Simmons, Thomas 39 Sevenoaks, Kent Head 9 Simmons, Thomas 7 Sevenoaks, Kent Son 10 Simmons, William J 14 Sevenoaks, Kent Son house hold 57 Rookes Hill **just trying to follow thru who was where and might have done what when

yep thats them again Jess is that the address of 79 Green Lane i think isn't it???

no 1891 that was household 57 Rookes Hill they are shown in 1901 as well living at 79 Green lane in Seal

1901- lets see who has gone 1 Alfred Simmons 14 Sevenoaks, Kent, England Son Seal Kent Alice R Simmons 6 Seal, Kent, England Daughter Seal Dorothy M Simmons 3 Seal, Kent, England Daughter Seal Emma Simmons 48 Sevenoaks, Kent, England Wife Seal 4 Fanny E Simmons 11 Seal, Kent, England Daughter Seal 5 FrankH Simmons 19 Sevenoaks, Kent, England Son seal Fred Simmons 9 Seal, Kent, England Son Seal Kent 8 Susan A Simmons 20 Sevenoaks, Kent, England Daughter Thomas Simmons 49 Sevenoaks, Kent, England Head Seal 9 Thomas Simmons 19 Sevenoaks, Kent, England Son Seal Kent

so Alice has been born and Charles Emma George Louie and William have gone

so, one at a time.Charles married Edith.Presume kent presume before 1901 Simmons, Charles 1890 March Marriages Woolwich Greater London Kent London >married an Ellen Simmons, Charles 1890 September Marriages Ticehurst Kent Sussex >married Ann or Emily SIMMONS, Charles 1892 December Marriages Tonbridge Kent Sussex > married Annie or Emma Simmons, Charles 1898 June Marriages Dartford Kent >married Annie or Emma not very helpful!

Yep Charles married Edith and they had three children i would presume in Kent yes and we can only check before 1901 anyway cant we i think so its worth having a look yeah

he was born earlier in 1879

hopeless- just too many Simmons... JESS MAYBE SOMEONE ELSE WILL HAVE A GO 1901 Was there a John too? Albert Buckingham 33 Sckleford, Hertfordshire, England Head Lewisham London Margaret Buckingham 2 8 months Lewisham, London, England Daughter Lewisham London Maud Buckingham 32 Caddington, Bedfordshire, England Wife Lewisham London Wm Buckingham 7 Lewisham, London, England Son Lewisham London Charles Simmons 21 Sevenoaks, Kent, England Boarder Lewisham London John Simmons 29 Sevenoaks, Kent, England Boarder Lewisham London also 1901 Ellen C Simmons 23 Southwark, London, England Wife Southwark St George the Martyr London George Simmons 24 Tonbridge, Kent, England Head Southwark St George the Martyr

Yes Jess there was a John it was from his fathers first marriage and apparently John married an Ellen and then a Lizzie. Th John you have found there the age would work out perfect with his DOB that i have it could also be the Chrles we are looking for
