Sussex Lookup Requests / Re: SIMMONDS Census, Brighton
« on: Saturday 11 September 04 02:06 BST (UK) »
Thanks so much for writing!
I am sorry I have so few details.
This Edward Simmonds is my gg grandfather's brother & it is frustrating that I can't find any of the English family. I have traced another brother who went to Australia & had a great holiday meeting hundreds of family on that line.
All I know is he was born in Bushey, Herts in 1810 which I have confirmed from parish records. The old family bible says he died in Brighton in March 1875 & I have found the death record & am waiting for that certificate to arrive, in the hope the informant is related.
My Australian cousins think I am pretty useless still not being able to find the English family really! By 1841 he may not yet have moved to Brighton, I guess he would have been there in 1871 which is why I asked after seeing such a lot of great help on this site. I have no idea what happened to him inbetween.
I really appreciate you trying to help - this guy is going to be difficult, I have been wanting to trace him for 25 years!
Thanks again,
Hazel
