1851 census look up please - Simmonds
« on: Monday 21 March 05 16:11 GMT (UK) »
Would somebody check the 1851 census for me.
I'm looking for Elizabeth Simmonds (could be Simmons).  She was born in 1848 in Uffingdon, Berks.  I'm trying to find out the names of her parents and any brothers/sisters and also her fathers occupation.
Any info would be very much appreciated

Hi

The only Elizabeth Simmons of that sort of age in Uffington in 1851 is aged 6 not 3 - this is her family

Samuel Simmons H wid 46 Ag Lab bron Berks Kingston Lisle
MArtha Simmons Dau 9 born Kingston Lisle
Thomas Simmons Son 7 born Kingston Lisle
Elizabeth Simmons Dau 6 born Uffington
Mary Ann Sims housekeeper aged 30 Houskeeper born Wilts Wanborough

I checked the registers for Uffington 1830 - 1855

this Elizabeth was baptised Oct 12th 1845 d/o Samuel & Susanna Simmons - lab

the only other with a similar name  in this time frame is an Eliza baptised in 1855 d/o Jonathan & Elizabeth

could not find a burial for Susanna - Samuels first wife but found his remarriage 20th July 1853
Samuel Simmons fa Wid s/o William Lab to Phobe Osman fa Sp d/o John Lab

hope it helps

Hi
Thank you for the information.  I think is quite likely that this is the person I'm looking for as her age seems to vary depending which census record I look at!
