Hi May,
first please be assured I note your request and IF I can help wrt recent connections(unsure at the mo) I'll advise you direct, I certainly will be anyway wrt other local families as I feel we may share ancestors.

However does this seem like the correct Florence to you ?. Assuming (and hoping) that her PRs have spelt Simmonds "correctly" then these seem a good possibility, what do you think.
