<title>Thomas SYMONDS 1817 Abenhall (reply)</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have William Symonds b 1810 Ireland married to Sarah Taysom/e of Arlingham b 1807, Im led to believe that Williams' father was also called William but no record of Williams' birth or the name of his mother, though it could possibly be Sarah. </p>
<p>Finding it hard to research Williams birth so far as I have no access to the Irish records. I'm sure it's possible that William and Sarah were parents of William, my GGG Grandfather, although William also went on to marry a Sarah... is it too much of a coincidence?</p>
<p>As my GGG Grandfather William was grown up and married to Sarah by the time the first census was taken in 1841, I haven't found any way of confirming who his parent's actually were. </p>
<p>Cannot find any definite record of their marriage either, unless I have missed some info posted above! </p>
<p>If Thomas was a child of William and Sarah (poss my GGGG Grandparents) then this would make him Williams' brother, who was possibly born in England rather than Ireland, like <br />
William. As Thomas' father William was a widow, it could be that he had come over to England and met Sarah. </p>
<p>Will have a think about all of this and try to piece it together! </p>
<p>Thanks slowhands, another avenue to explore. </p>
<p>Rachael</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>HI SLOWHANDS THANKS FOR YOUR HELP. ISEE FROM THE NAMES YOU HAVE GIVEN THAT ONE OF THINGS THAT WAS THROUGHING ME, WAS THE WAY THE SPELLING OF MATHEWS WAS USED.<br />
I LOOKED AGAIN AT MY MOTHERS BIRTH CERTIFICATE AND LOW AND BEHOLD I FIND IT REGISTERED AS MATTHEWS, NOT AS WAS LED TO BELIEVE MATHEWS.<br />
ARE THEY THE SAME OR HAVE I BEEN LOOKING AT THE WRONG ONES? I AM AMAZED HOW MANY THERE ARE, BUT IT WONDERFUL TO KNOW.<br />
IF YOU ARE ABLE TO HELP ANYMORE I WOULD BE MOST GRATEFUL, AS I AM JUST LEARNING<br />
HOW TO USE THE FACILITIES THAT ARE AVAILABLE.<br />
THANKS ONCE AGAIN, BRIAN FIELD (BRIFIELD72)</p>

<title>Elizabeth Symonds (reply)</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi Brifield, </p>
<p>I can't seem to see any connection with your Elizabeth Symonds and my Elizabeth Symonds born around 1821.</p>
<p>Mine features at a different address in the 1841 census and am not actually sure how the Elizabeth I have relates to the William in my tree, says she lived next door so sure she is connected somehow. </p>
<p>Also haven't found a Moses in my tree at all, as yet! Altho, the Symonds/Symmonds/Simons/Simmonds family will surely have a massive family tree &amp; they could well be connected somewhere down the line!</p>

<title>Aaron Simmonds/Aron Symonds c.1842 (reply)</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi Rachelw<br />
Like you I am new to this , but I read your bit about the Simmons and wondered wether<br />
what I have might help.<br />
When researching my family the Mathews, Ifound a Moses Mathews Living with Moses<br />
Simmons and Elizabeth Simmons, born c 1791/2.<br />
I have a feeling that they are the parents of Elizabeth, but am not sure. If thats the case somewhere along the line we must have a connection.<br />
My mothers family lived in the same area.<br />
Hope this helps.<br />

<title>Moses SIMMONDS / Nellie MATTHEWS (reply)</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi slowhands,<br />
I wonder if there is a connection with the lady I have. Her name is Elizabeth<br />
Simmons born c 1792, she was married to Moses Simmons born c 1791 that is according to ancestry year 1861 census.<br />
I have to admit I am new to all this, and need help with my side of the family.<br />
They are the Mathews. my mother was Nellie Mathews born 1905. when trying to trace<br />
her ancesters I come to a stop.<br />
The spelling confuses me the are two ways of the spelling of Mathews/ Matthews.<br />
Anyway somehow I land up finding aaaa Moses Mathews living with Moses &amp; elizabeth Simmons. there,s got to be a story there somewhere, and I hope to solve it soon.<br />
Your comments are very interesting.<br />
thanks for reading hope theres some help.<br />

<title>Sarah TAYSUM/ORGAN - Arlingham (reply)</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thanks again to mp griffiths,<br />
I have been looking into William Simons/Symonds/Symmonds and Sarah, to try and find confirmation of her maiden name as it is not on the parish records of the children's births. <br />
Everything points to Sarah's maiden name being Taysom/e as mp griffiths suggested. <br />
The free Glos BMD index has Aron Symonds b 1841 as mother's maiden name Taysom, as well as Elizabeth b 1847 &amp; Matilda (who was born in 1844 and died around 2 weeks old). <br />
These are definite children of my William and Sarah, so it seems the link is there.<br />
Just to say a big thanks, once again! <br />

<title>Henry Aaron SIMMONDS 1874 Littledean (reply)</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi slowhands, </p>
<p>Thanks for taking the time to check this over for me, I greatly appreciate it. </p>
<p>It backs up everything I thought so far &amp; more. </p>
<p>I also was unsure of William and Sarah Manning, although someone else has a public tree on a site saying it is Sarah Manning, with her father being Thomas Manning. I had difficulty in finding the maiden name from any records so didn't just presume!</p>
<p>They also had William Simmonds as William Simmonds' father, but I cannot see where or how they confirmed this information, I couldn't back that up from any records I've seen.  That's one of the very reasons I have looked into everything myself and didn't want to use info from someone else's research! </p>
<p>The 1911 census data is new on me though, that's added another 2 step-siblings on Grandads tree. At last count that would make at least 15 definitely confirmed siblings and step-siblings! Absolutely fascinating. I wonder how on earth they managed?</p>
<p>Do you know if there are any official records available online regarding mining in the Forest? Seems Henry Aaron was from a long line of Colliers, and would love to find some further info on this also. </p>
<p>Again, thank you for your time.</p>
<p>Rachael</p>
