Success.....found a marriage

Registration district: Bccolesall B
Volume Number: 9c

Find Spouse: Lilina**


**Mistranscribed, which explains why I couldn't find it before, looking for Lilian.

I would strongly advise that you get the marriage cert, for confirmation of Lilian's father's details

I think you've missed my point, Julie............

Lilian Thompson Simmonite was the daughter of GEORGE Thompson Simmonite..............and Annie Andrew

NOT Leonard.

Where did you get the name Leonard name from?

There is no child name Lilian recorded on 1901 or 1911 censuses for Leonard and family.

There is, however, a Lilian in the family in 1911 which is headed by STEVENS...a name you say is also relevant for Annie

hi flick
that was grandmas birth and death1999 (lilian simmonite) married to thomas henry thornhill my gramdad dont know what the thompson bit is unless annie was married before or that is her maiden name

What was Mr Thornhill's first name?

I have traced three births in Sheffield for Thornhill with MMN Simmonite, but have failed to find a marriage..............

Perhaps you don't realise that you are able to look for births, marriages and deaths on the following FREE site...........................

http://www.freebmd.org.uk/

Censuses don't give you that info........a census is a record of who slept overnight at any given address on one specified night in the year in question.

Julie,

Birth certs always give the mothers maiden name - birth references do not give it until around 1911 onwards.

I think you are a little confused re this ?
