Hi
I am trying to find information on the children of James Sim born 1904 Lancashire who married May Pugh in 1921 in Lancashire.
James is my fathers step Brother who he never knew existed.
Their children I think are
Arthur born 1926
and Dorothy born 1923.

Thanks Kerryn
:-)

Researching:
Sim, Michel, Johnston, Yule

Both of The childrens Birth entries are down as Sims ( perhaps the marriage entry is a typo)

Those children might be of a different marriage.....

Marriages Dec 1922
PUGH Lilian ...Sims ..Newport M 11a 496
SIMS Albert V ..Pugh ..Newport M 11a 496

I found this couple's son Arthur was killed in the war.
This is likely to be the Arthur born in Monmouthshire.

Kerryn
Do you know that James definitely married May in 1921?
He would have been very young.
Not impossible, but I just wondered.......

Could you perhaps outline how you found James and what you know of him?
