Symcock/Garnett mystery
« on: Monday 06 April 20 05:54 BST (UK) »
Can I please have some lookup help trying to find what became of one or both of these ancestors -
Thomas Symcock and Lucy Garnett, both born c1791-3.  They married in 1815. 
Their first 2 children died as infants - Lucy b&d 1816, William b&d 1817.  To my knowledge the only other child born and lived, was William 1818-1874 (my ancestor).
Thomas was a rope maker in Nantwich (as was his father William).

I've exhausted my expertise searching for deaths pre 1838 as well as new marriages for either.  Even post 1838 I've had no joy.

Any thoughts please would be appreciated.

Wm and Ann Moulton married in 1846.  Witnesses:  James Pick and Clare Lockitt.
There was no mention that his father Thomas was deceased.
Ann Moulton died in 1856 and Wm remarried Ann Tomlinson, widow, in 1858.
Wm died in 1874 in Stockport.
I don't have his marriage cert to his second wife. 

(Some birth certs I have purchased from Wm's daughter, have recorded the spelling as Simcox).

I'm comfortable with surname variations and 5 years either side of believed age but I don't think the age is close enough to feel it a match. 

I feel Thomas and Jane probably remained in the area, or at least Cheshire, but I can't find a suitable match in England!! 

I appreciate you all giving a hand with this.  It's tough to let it drop after spending a lot of time on a brick wall!!

Thomas Simcoe was buried in Wybunbury 18th August 1859. The burial entry (image on FindMyPast) states he was from Stapeley. Both places are only a few miles from Nantwich.
