Hi Richard,

I have not found a death for Elizabeth but it would seem that they had two other children that may be you are not aware of? John christened 17 Nov 1743 and Elizabeth christened 1 April 1746.

Hope this helps,

Sandra

If a death record for Elizabeth isn't found, could you have the wrong   John Simmons death ,  its a very common name, if so perhaps Elizabeth remarried.

Just thoughts.

Just a quick thankyou to Sandra for the extra 2 children.
 As for John Simmons death i have just re checked the death in Royston and it looks good still as it says resident of cudworth which is also where they were when they were married in 1742 bit of a mystery this one i could look for another marriage for Elizabeth but John lived to 80 so its very unlikely, Many thanks to everyone but may have to come back to this at a later date.

Unlike Caroleanne, I do know a bit about the parish boundaries - because as an historical geographer I am currently studying the ancient history of Cudworth. Cudworth did not become a parish until its population rose to a sufficient level to merit the expense. This happened when the very large numbers of miners, quarrymen and railway workers began arriving to service the large deep mine collieries that were being opened up towards the end of the 19th century and start of the 20th.

Until 1838/9, the township of Cudworth had been a constituent part of the large rural parish of Royston. The parish also included Notton, Woolley, Carlton and Monk Bretton. Then the new daughter parish of Monk Bretton was established and Cudworth became a part of this. Until 1894, that is, when the new parish of Cudworth was established with its church being erected on the High Royd and dedicated to St John the Baptist.
