Hi Ken,

Maybe there is some connection here with my relation William Symmonds/Simmonds b 1811 in Ireland, William married Sarah Taysome/Taysum of Arlingham.

They had a son called Aaron b 1842 who married Maria Stevens. They had rather a lot of children, one being Henry Aaron Simmonds (my G G Grandfather). Henry Aaron had a daughter called Daisy in around 1900 with Alice Mason, she was my Grandads half-sister.

Also, interestingly I have a family connection with Illinois through the Mills family, two of my Grandads Great Uncles were killed in the Cherry Mining disaster in Illinois in 1909. My Grandads mother was Mabel Mills, second wife of Henry Aaron Simmonds.

Lots of similar names and places... surely there must be some connection down the line? From what I have seen, within the family are so many children named after other relatives, do you have any other info?
