John Simcock

[linell]

The only other John's in 1841 is John in Haughton Street West Brom aged 20 living with a John Roberts aged 75 a Hinge File Maker.  Both Johns say NO they weren't born in County, but best not to take too much notice of that, that information is not always accurate.

Hi Linell
with regard to Enoch Simcox they would not be cousins would they as I have seach and found no father with a name william only have found father name as Joshua and mother as Martha could this be the case both living with their grandmother??

There are a couple of Baptisms for Enoch 1821 West Bromwich, one to George and Mary and one to Joshua and Ruth.  I presumed he was John's brother, but who knows, yes they could be Cousins.  Will have a further look into that.  Linell.

The Baptism for Enoch; Parents were Joshua and Ruth was West Brom 14.7.1822.  This is a submitted entry by a member of the Mormon Church, it has a Film Number, so is probably a Non Conformist Baptism, Baptist or Methodist etc.  There are no more listed children for them, but that doesn't mean they didn't have anymore children?  The others may have been baptised somewhere else? 

Just re-read my posts, Enoch's eldest son was George, so more than likely he was the son of George and Mary.  Need to find out who Mary was?

Will keep looking, Linell.

Hi Linell
Back in the other post you sent a relpy saying that John Simcox was 20 Enoch Simcox was 15 and there was a Sarah Simcox and you said that you think that they could be her Granny,
I have done a bit of searching and have found the following see what you think
John Simcox was born 1821 to parents William and Elizabeth Blisset who where married on the 5 Nove 1821 at Saint Marys, Handsworth Stafford then i found that
William was the son of John Simcox and Sarah  William being born on the 30 March 1800
Do you think that this could be right

Well done TJ that certainly seems to fit.  Maybe an idea to see if Wm had a brother George or where the name Enoch fits in, they usually used the same names down the generations, could John Simcox Snr husband of Sarah been the brother or son of an Enoch?  Keep searching think you could be on the right track here.  Best Wishes from Linell.

Or Enoch could have been Elizabeth or Sarah's father

Hi alli, thanks for the info but we are looking for an Enoch Simcox or Blissett born in the 1700's.  This family you have found could connect but we haven't got that far yet, really need to check his Marriage Certificate.  I also found an Enoch in the same time frame who Married a Fanny.  Cheers from Linell.

Looks like Wm and Elizabeth had a few children, some on here, but no George or Enoch, which throws my theory out of the window.  There are a few Enoch's on the IGI born West Brom, but not one with parents Wm and Elizabeth:-
