1851 census lookup please in Hull - not on Ancestry!

Hi ClarrieLou,

My husband is descended from this family, in fact from Frederick born in 1852, Hull; Mary's maiden name was Webster.

As yet I have not gone back any further.  Is there a connection?

Regards,

Kath

Hi Kath,

Yes, I think I can detect William Sims on my tree! Basically, I believe all the Howden Simms/Sims descend from James Simms and Elizabeth Brown (who were born in the early 1700s).

I think your William is the son of James Simms and Ann Holdsworth?

So:

James Simms and Elizabeth Brown (Gen 1)
James Simms and Susannah Elcock (Gen 2)
James Simms and Ann Holdsworth (Gen 3)
William Simms and Martha

Does that tie in with you? My family is another branch from generation 2, James and Elizabeth's son David, as opposed to James Jr.

Hi Claire,

There is a submitted entry on the IGI, that does have an appropriately aged William with parents James and Ann Holdsworth.

I realised I said Mary Webster earlier instead of Martha Webster (Mary Webster is a friend of mine oops)

I will PM you with my email address, if you wanted to communicate further.

Regards,
Kath
