No problem searching by address if you have a subscription to findmypast. Have had an opportunity to look today but cannot identify the address under Brierley, Brierley Banks or Drybrook.

Was hoping to find out who was living at Fir Tree Cottage in Brierley Banks in 1911. I know my Grandad, Redvers Simmonds, was born there about 12 years later but was wondering if the family had been there some time.

I do have access to ancestry but not sure if its possible?

1911
SIMMONDS HENRY M 1875 36 Westbury on Severn Gloucestershire
SIMMONDS DAISY F 1901 10 Westbury on Severn Gloucestershire
SIMMONDS ERNEST M 1895 16 Westbury on Severn Gloucestershire
SIMMONDS GILBERT M 1907 4 Westbury on Severn Gloucestershire
SIMMONDS LEWIS M 1903 8 Westbury on Severn Gloucestershire
SIMMONDS ADA F 1899 12 Westbury on Severn Gloucestershire

Ancestry has yet to transcribe the area

the 1911 Summary book gives two 6 memember family candidates

Mr Simmonds 4 2 Bullo Newnham, Gloucestershire
Mr Simmonds 5 1 Ruardean Hill, Drybrook East Dean, Gloucestershire

I suspect your family is the Ruardean Hill one...

What does Alice's death cert say ?
