There are three generations of 'Simeon Brim' in Wrestlingworth:
. Sim1 (1816-1902) married 1840 to Elizabeth Yarrow, publican of "Queen Victoria"
. Sim2 (1851-1931) married 1872 to Ann Bland
. Sim3 (1887 - ??) married, perhaps, to one Margaret E Freeman,
and with a son curiously named "Allan Simeon Frank Brim"
These folk appear on many Ancestry 'Public Trees' but none have any information about "Sim3"s marriage or death. I only found the info about his wife and child from one of these trees, sadly unsourced.("RefinedWallTree" by pete_wall1)
I have a photo of "Sim3", probably taken when he was in his late teens, by a Bedford Photographer. He also appears in the 1891 and 1901 censuses at Wrestlingworth with his parents. For the 1911 Census of Wrestlingworth it seems there is only a record of the summary index (names of household heads), at least on Ancestry, and in that there is just one mention of a 'Simeon Brim' who could be Sim2 or Sim3.
I cannot find any record of "Sim3"s marriage or death either in Ancestry, or FreeBMD, or GRO indexes. He does not seem to appear in the 1939 Register, nor in any Electoral Registers indexed by Ancestry...
I know there are many families called 'Brin' rather than 'Brim' in the area, but Sim3 does not seem to be hiding behind a mis-spelling. I've tried many alternatives!
So, my questions:
1. Does anyone know why the full 1911 census for Wrestlingworth is not available on Ancestry, only the Summary Index? Is it completely lost or just an accidental omission? Can I find it somewhere else...?
2. Can anyone find any information on Sim3 after 1901 in sources I have not searched? Maybe he emigrated...
Maybe I just need to wait until the 1922 census becomes available next year and see if he appears there...
Thanks in advance

Many thanks. So it seems 1911 Wrestlingworth census is just missing from Ancestry, not everywhere. Frustratingly this Simeon is Sim2. It at least tells me his son, Sim3, had probably left home before 1911. He would have been 24 at that date, so it is not surprising.

Hi
Funeral articles of Ann (1926) and Simeon aged 79 (1931) Brim mention various members of the family including son Simeon Brim whose address in 1931 is Queensbury, York.
Another so Frank is mentioned and seems to have a wife but no Mrs. S Brim mentioned.

Hi Cath,
Thanks so much. I have just searched using the info you provide with no joy. Would you be able to give me a source or link...? I'd love to see what the 'funeral articles' you mention contain. Tantalising!

You will need to remove your email address, rootschat does not like us posting them.
I can't see a birth registration for a Simeon with MMN Bland. Could he actually be registered under another first name or have I missed it :-\

I came to same conclusion, Cathy
Edgar Brim is on the electoral roll for Queensbury in 1931 which would seem to clinch it, although of course his birth certificate would prove it :)

1. Does anyone know why the full 1911 census for Wrestlingworth is not available on Ancestry, only the Summary Index? Is it completely lost or just an accidental omission? Can I find it somewhere else...?
It is there, the surname transcribed as BRIN when it is clearly BRIM.

janan, I thought you were talking about Cathy's newspaper report when you mentioned her in your response ;D

Thanks Cathy. I'm sure TadlowNewell will be back to let us know what he thinks about Edgar being Simeon.
Jan

Thanks for clarifying that Cathy. As I had no idea what else the article said I wondered if I had been wasting my time posting about Edgar.
Rosie

Thanks all. I just need some time to process the new info I have received from you all today and update my database. Then I'll respond fully with a summary. My time is often not my own so please be patient!!
-
Dear all,
I have not yet unravelled all the Alfred/Wilfred/Edgar Brims you have unearthed, but will, I hope, sort them out shortly and let you know. I currently believe Simeon (Sim3) and Edgar are brothers, not alternative names for the same person, and they both seem to be up in Yorkshire, sharing a house. However I could be wrong.
The only information Cathy sent me 'privately' yesterday was, as she explained, three newspaper cuttings from the British newspaper Archive. I have not worked out how to post attachments or insert images in Rootschat using this old-fashioned HTML editor, and I suspect Cathy hasn't either, so she/I revert to alternative means of communication.
I propose posting full details of each cutting, one by one 'for posterity' as they provide useful information not easily available elsewhere.
Here's the complete transcription of the first. followed by my explanation/understanding of who the folk mentioned are.

Here's the transcript of the third press cutting Cathy found. It is from 1953 and records the marriage of Simeon Peter Brim, son of Frank. i.e. he becomes 'Sim4' in my naming convention.
There is less information of genealogic interest here, but it makes fascination reading and is so 'of its time': "The younger maids wore...nylon headdresses" and 'the honeymoon is being spent in Clacton'.
----------------------------------------
Biggleswade Chronicle and Bedfordshire Gazette, Friday 4th Sep 1953
Mr. S. P. Brim and Miss J. Gray
At Biggleswade Old Meeting Baptist Church on August 27. Mr. Simeon Peter Brim, younger son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Brim of 1 Hatley Road, Wrestlingworth was married to Miss Joan Gray, elder daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Gray of Fairfield Road, Biggleswade.
The Rev. Hugh Fraser of Russell Park Baptist Church, Bedford officiated, and Mrs H. T. Salt was organist for the hymns "The Lord's my shepherd" and "O perfect love".
Given away by her father, the bride wore a dress of white-figured taffeta with full length embroidered veil and headdress of orange blossom and carried a shower bouquet of pink roses, carnations and fern. She wore a double string of pearls, the gift of the bridegroom.
Bridesmaids were the Misses Brenda and Sheila Gray (bride's sisters) and Beryl Slade and Jennifer Brim (nieces of the bridegroom). The two elder maids wore dresses of ice-blue taffeta with net overskirts, matching blue half-hats, flowered to match their bouquets of lemon carnations. The two younger maids wore lemon taffeta dresses with nylon matching headdresses and carried lemon and pink carnations.
Mr Alec Brim (bridegroom's brother) was best man and a reception was held at Park's Cafe. The honeymoon is being spent at Clacton, the bride travelling in a pale blue costume with white accessories. Mr and Mrs Brim will live at 1 Hatley Road, Wrestlingworth.

Hi
Thanks for your updates.
Re your idea that Edgar and Simeon are brothers sharing the house in Queensbury Yorks, the 1931 electoral roll shows only Edgar and his wife Gladys in Queensbury, no Simeon.

Hello Jan,
I have this morning been putting together a 'definitive' (ha!) list of all the information I have on Simeon and Ann's children and I have to say that the evidence that Simeon and Edgar are one and the same person is beginning to become convincing. I have even found a Public Tree on Ancestry containing a person named "?Simeon/Edgar? Brim" so you are not the first to raise the possibility. See https://www.ancestry.co.uk/family-tree/person/tree/81387267/person/44462955297/facts (https://www.ancestry.co.uk/family-tree/person/tree/81387267/person/44462955297/facts). I plan to message the owner and ask her if she has any info. I sense there is an interesting story here ... if we can get to the bottom of it. I'll keep digging.
-
Have you missed this post :-\
Thank you for the update
When Allan Simeon Frank Brim Freeman married Hilda Bullard he named his father as Edgar Brim - Police Constable though this was struck through - presumably because he was illegitimate.
-
Debra, I did wonder if David had been born before the marriage and baptised when it was convenient
The 1939 Register gives David William Brim's birth date as 23 Oct 1873, a year after Simeon and Ann's marriage. That isn't 100% proof, but it suggests he was not illegitimate, though then there remains the issue why his Birth certificate is not found...
-
Unfortunately dates of birth and other information on both census and the 1939 register are not reliable.
On reply 13 Debra has listed the birth registration details of 9 children of Simeon & Ann which agrees in total with the 1911 census. However as Debra mentioned the living/died figures were the wrong way round. Also Debras list did not include a birth for David William which would have increased the total of children to 10.
Were any of their children baptised :-\
-
Can someone who has access to Wrestlingworth registers do a lookup for us for both Edgar and Simeon Brim.
We know from GRO Edgar was born Q4 1886 but I have no baptism details
In 1901 census Simeon was aged 4 which would give a birth in 1887 but I have no baptism details and Debra does not list 'Simeon' in her list from GRO birth records.
The fact we have 10 children but their mother Ann records only nine (5 alive, 4 dead) on the 1911 census is more evidence that Simeon and Edgar are probably the same person...
Once I have any new Baptism/Birth data I shall post all the details i have of all 9/10 children.
-
You have said that Simeon was the father of Allan S F B Freeman, what evidence do you have for that.
-
I am aware that several sources show that Edgar is father of S F B Freeman including posts in this thread. Once I have hopefully worked out whether Simeon and Edgar are the same person or not then I shall adjust/correct. Note my posts in this thread showing Simeon as his father do now include a caveat "or Edgar".
I also need to try to investigate/clarify who his mother is and her relationship with Simeon/Edgar. It is likely to be week d before I can do much more on this. It has turned out to be a lot bigger issue that I expected!

Hi
The 1901 census was taken on 31 March 1901 so a child born Q4 of 1886 would still be 4yrs old. As Rosie said earlier there is no birth registration showing for a Simeon Brim with mother's maiden name Bland

Dear Rootschatters
I have now pulled together all available information I can find on Simeon and Edgar Brim - listed below - and I think that on balance we can conclude they are one and the same person. Maybe he was baptised Edgar but during his childhood was called Sim to please his grandfather 'Sim2' or some such. Note we know of Sim3 only from two Census records - 1901 when he was aged 4 and 1911 when he was 14. In neither of these censuses is 'Edgar' mentioned. i.e. the two records fit together nicely in this respect.
This merging also means Ann Brim now has nine children, as she reported in the 1911 census, not ten.
There are just two pieces of information which still worry me:
1. My uncle Edward, son of Emma Charlotte Brim, who was born 1909, identified (when he was aged 90) a photo I have as being of Simeon "He was called Sim'. I guess he only knew 'Sim' during his early childhood.
2. The press cutting of Sim2s burial in 1931 mentions Simeon living at Ardley (sic) Yorkshire while the 1931 Electoral register has 'Edgar' living at Elland. Elland and East Ardsley are about 8 miles apart, south-west of Bradford. Indeed Edgar was living at 6 New Park Road, Elland per all Electoral Registers from 1915 to 1932, never at East Ardsley. Maybe this use of 'Simeon' at the funeral is again just to 'please' the late Sim2....
Anyway, I have merged the two entries in my database. My next step is to try to identify where
"Allan Simeon Frank Brim Freeman" born 1908 fits in. Currently it seems he he is son of Simeon/Edgar and of one Ann Freeman but I intend to explore a bit more.

Dear Rosie,
I wonder if you could give me a source for this info. I can find references to the marriage in Indexes, but not the actual certificate image, which I would like very much to see.
Colin

The certificate is on Find My Past. It is mis-indexed as 1881 and gives Allan's dob as 1857, goodness knows why!
Re your earlier comment that Simeon is said to be living in Ardley in the newspaper article about his dad's funeral. It is actually says Queensbury, which you do note yourself further down. Elland is in South Queensbury ward.

Thanks for this. I can see a birth certificate on FindMyPast, at first link below, which would be interesting - is father recorded and, if so, who, but frustratingly I don't have a subscription. I can also see two marriage records for Hilda M EW Bullard at the second link. I'll keep looking.

3rd one down, as I said it is mis-indexed as occurring in 1881 and gives Allan's year of birth as 1857, but the certificate is correct for the 1932 marriage. You can buy credits to view records so don't have to have a subscription.
If you want to see his birth certificate you would need to order from the GRO as it is only the index that is shown on Findmypast.
