Hi Deb,
I've been looking in the Abingdon St. Nicholas transcripts and do not find a William Simmonds being bapt 18-7-1779 in fact there are no William Simmonds for the period 1764 to 1820 that I can see.
Also covered the Abingdon St.Helens records and again drawn a blank for William.
I wonder if its been missed and that record you quote could have been taken from the BTs.
Sorry I can't be more helpful
Alan
Thanks Alan .. forgive my ignorance but what is a BT? The record from above was from ancestry and also on find my past that was for William Senior but I've had no luck with William junior.
Thank you for taking the time to look for me much appreciated
