Simonds Down?

[AMBLY]

It's very intriguing - 2 Hawkchurch Rufus' same age, 2 Devon Elizabeth's both a bit older than the hubby! 

At least your new Elizabeth, has a place of birth you can find on a map     

Have just sent you a mail 

Cheers

Why am I reminded of Seinfeld's Bizarro world? hmmm....

Thanks once again for all of your help And the things you found on Rufus Jnr as well - he also made the trip over here as well, so he is certainly of interest.

I think I may have stumbled on an answer as to where Simonds Down is for those searching for the birth place of Elizabeth White - nee Leigh as listed on the 1851 census. There is a large manor just outside of Axminster called Symondsdown House - what are the chances that this is where she worked and lived before marriage to Rufus White at Hawkchurch. It may have at that time been a farm and she was employed there in the house. Makes a whole lot of sense to me
