Yes, you're right again MPG,
John Simmonds' birthplace "New Weir" was indeed just south of Whitchurch on the Wye, not far from Lydbrook and more precisely and rather appropriately at Symonds Yat !. This was an important centre of industry many decades before John worked there.

John's wife Anne was probably born at Marstow, just a mile or so north of Whitchurch.
