  • Looking for Simmons in 1861

    Hi all

    I'm looking for Simmons Butler on the 1861 census. He was baptised in 1834 in Chilton Foliat, Wiltshire: https://search.ancestry.com.au/cgi-b...=successSource.

    On the 1841 census with his parents and sisters: https://search.ancestry.com.au/cgi-b...rhSource=61188

    and in 1851: https://search.ancestry.com.au/cgi-b...rhSource=61188

    His first marriage to Sarah Palmer in 1853: https://search.ancestry.com.au/cgi-b...&rhSource=8860

    Sarah died several years later and he married my widowed ggg-grandmother Charlotte in St George Southwark in 1862. Shortly after they emigrated to Australia.

    I would love to locate him in 1861, but no luck so far. All and any help would be greatly appreciated.

        Nor me.

        Think I see Sarah in 1861 in the City or was she deceased by then?

                  yes, with husband Thomas and daughter Sarah at Hedgerley Court, Thomas died in 1862.

                  Thanks

                    yes, exactly the right Charlotte. Thomas is my ggg-grandfather. Their "niece" Sarah is their daughter, born before they were married.

                    Thanks for looking

                      Now I'm wondering if I have the right death for Sarah Palmer Butler.

                        I found that one too, and as she in the 'country' I wondered if he would have been close by, rather than in London, was pondering how they would have met.

                          How Simmons and Charlotte met?

                            Short time span between death of Thomas D and marriage between Charlotte and Simmons.
                            Looks like couple moved from the farm before Thomas d' s death. Thomas D's Probate details gives an address in Uxbridge as place of death.
                            Looked to see who was there in 1861 but didn't see a Simmons B. Wonder if he was in the area.
                            Whilst looking around noted possible other child b 1850 to a Charlotte A. Do you have that one?

                            Can put up links but need to switch from the tablet

                              Ignore the 2nd child of a Charlotte Adams. Different person living close to Wycombe b 1824. In the 1841 with mother

                                yes, very short time span between death of Thomas and marriage to Simmons. Between 1855 and 1858 Thomas and Charlotte and Sarah were in Victoria, Australia and then came back to the UK because of family dramas. Hedgerley Court Farm seems to have been sold to buy land in Moreton Bay, Qld and they had passage booked back to Australia when Thomas died of kidney disease. Charlotte came back to Australia, but with another hastily-acquired husband.

                                She was from Berkshire/Buckinghamshire and Thomas and Simmons were both born there as well. I have a theory but it's only that - Simmons' father, John Butler, had a successful carpentry firm, first in London and by 1861 back in Berkshire, at Hurst which is only about 20 miles from Hedgerley I think. On the 1861 census Thomas and Charlotte are at Hedgerley with a couple of carpenters, who I think would have been doing work to the house before it sold. I've always wondered if Simmons also worked on the house at some point, since he was a carpenter by trade too. Another reason I would really love to locate him on the 1861 census.

                                  And am also now looking for a possible death for first wife Sarah Palmer as my original idea that she had died in St Luke doesn't seem to fit any more.

                                  Unless Simmons was a bigamist

                                    I agree Simmons likely to have known Charlotte prior to Thomas D's death. Thomas D death was registered in the same quarter of 1862 as that of the marriage of Charlotte and Simmons.

                                    The death of a Sarah Butler aged 32 reg Dec q 1864 Holborn is a possible for the 1861 census record but cant see a burial record

                                    Sarah Butler aged 27 London City, Married, Mantle Maker, b London City
                                    Living with others at 2 Mar.....Court, St Botolph Without, Aldersgate
                                    One of the residents b Chatteris, Cambs. If I remember correctly one of the parents from Chatteris but maybe not connected

                                        I think the 1861 is a good possible for Sarah Palmer. In the household is a Margaret Hutchinson aged 70 a Widow b Chatteris (as was father Joseph Palmer). Ancestry is cross referencing Margaret with a Margaret Palmer who married a Robert Hutchinson. So possible Aunt
