Lookup request Farnham Royal 1781
« on: Sunday 16 October 16 12:04 BST (UK) »
Hi

If anyone is able, I'd be really grateful for a look up in the parish marriage register at Farnham Royal for a marriage, 30 April 1781 between William Simons (aka Simmons, Symonds) and Elizabeth Weard (aka Warr).  I would like the details, including names of witnesses, addresses, fathers' names and occupations, please.

Many thanks.

Hello, in case you're still looking I came across the marriage witness names today:
First witness Thos Cook
Second witness John Northcroft

I have a little further information: William Simons, I believe, is the son of Richard Simons and Susan or Susannah Hall who married 20 Dec 1756 in Farnham Royal. William was born about 1757 and baptized 11 Oct 1757.

I believe *Richard Simons was born in 1735 to Robert Simmons and Sarah Taylor (married 29 Sep 1723 Farnham Royal) and his probable siblings to be:
Thomas Simmons 1724-
Ralph Simmons 1726-1726
Richard Simmons 1728-1731
John Simmons 1730-1730
John Simmons 1731- (baptized 7 Nov 1731)
Sarah Simmons 1731-1734  (baptized 11 Nov 1731)
Lorey or Lovey Simmons 1733-
*Richard Simmons 1735-
Mary Simmons 1736-1738
Sarah Simmons 1741-1741

And if correct his William and Susannah's first born to be William.

I am searching for a Robert Simmons of Farnham Royal who married Sarah Coles at Farnham Royal 11 Sep 1769. I thought Robert may have been a son of Robert Simmons and Sarah Taylor but I could not find that link.

Hope this helps :)
