Hi

I don't want to make things more difficult, but I have just been rechecking all my mum's notes and she had written down David Owen not Thomas when she was doing her research.  I have asked her about it but she can't remember where she got David from.

Hi Sharon

Thanks for that.  I have also found William James Simmons birth 1895 Mile End Old Town.  Unfortunately it gets me no closer to Henry Simmons!

Julie

Perhaps if you get his birth certificate it would give his mothers maiden name.  If Albert was in the Army he could have married abroad

This could be Albert in 1891

I wonder if it is Florence Arminger 

1891
RG12/285 f66 p9
Florence Arminger Head Widow age (Could be 32 line drawn through it) bn St Pancras
Minnie Arminger sister in law single bn Old Ford
David Son age 11 bn Hoxton
Henry Son age 2 bn St George in the East
Eleanor age 5 Niece
Bessie age 1 Niece

I don't believe she was married as there is a likely candidate in 1881 with that name who is single

I too have been going over the Florence Henrietta Arminger theory & I think you are right Rosie.
