Thomas Simmonds
« on: Tuesday 06 July 21 02:40 BST (UK) »
Good Morning all hope you are all well. I am now trying to find the correct baptism of my ancestor Thomas Simmonds, their is so many different records around. This family connected with the family names of Lydia, Woodger, and Long right through to Phillis Lydia Hodge (married name). The Thomas Simmonds who married a Hannah Long on the 15/4/1823 Maidstone Kent her death 13/12/1857 East Maidstone kent and Thomas's death date 20/9/1849 Maidstone Kent. I have searched trying to find the proper Thomas Simmonds who has the names Lydia, Woodger and Long in the Record. I will keep on searching later. :-[ :-\

Regards,
Janet :-\

According to GRO Index, Thomas's age was recorded as 50 when he died in 1849, so possible birth  circa 1798-1800. (Assuming this is the Thomas you are looking for)

Do you have the death certificate? Does the name of the informant, place of death or occupation give any clue to his identity?
