hello
My name is helen, I have beenresearching the name SIMS/SIMMS for such a long time, when I saw your posting, I thoughtiot wpu;d be a good idea to contact you.
My husbands g.g. grandfather was transported here to WSSestern Australia in 1856. his name has Humphrey James SIMS he was convicted in York (maybe born Ireland)
his father was either John or Dominic.  Humphrey was born in 1834. I have all the details of his life in W.A. I have found nothing of his beginnings in the UK except his trial at York Assizes & the newspaper cuttings of his theft & robbery report.  It would be really great to hear from you & I would love to hear all about your history with the name SIMS.
regards
Helen

Hello Helen,

My Sims/Simms line starts in Somerset:
Ralph b abt 1796 Stanton Drew Somerset married Sarah ? b abt 1796, son Ralph was c13/6/1830 Stanton Drew Somerset, he married Mary/Maria Parry b Dudley, abt 1859. I can't find their marriage. Ralph is listed as coal miner. Looked on Free BDM, Family Search, but nothing. They had two children in York, John b abt 1860 Burton York and Sarah b bt 1862 Wasterdale, York,  the other children where born Netherton, Worcestershire) George b abt 1865, Maryan b abt 1867 ( my grgr grandmother) Ralph b abt 1870, William b abt 1874, Samul b abt 1878 and Sarah b abt 1880 ( Sarah becomes Laura in the 1891 census) according to the 1881 census. On the 1871 census all the chlidren were said  to be b Dudley, Worcsetershire. 1871 & 1881 they are living at 54 Chapel Street and in 1891 they are living at 113 Halesowen Road.
Mary An married my grandfather John Flavell in Dec quarter 1889 Dudley. On the 1891 census Maryan & John Flavell are living  Chapel Street.
Perhaps for the 1861 Ralph & Mary/Maria could be in  in Wasterdale, York.
Thats all I can tell you at the moment.
