looks to me like the family  worked on the construction of Liverpool Cathedral ??  Epharim - a Quarryman - Woolton Quarry - Samuel, a  Quarry Foreman - Woolton Quarry - which supplied the stone for the Cathedral and William was a stone Mason and probaly cut stone at Woolton Quarry - OR - WORKED on the Cathedral ??  it took over 100 years to build  :)

Yes, I’ve wondered about that Liverpool Cathedral  It’s my mother in laws family. She never mentioned anything about the  Simmills which were her mother’s family.
