Hi Nanna,

Any chance of finding the parents and/or siblings of Peter(John) Simmins born in Lancashire (sorry don't know what county) in 1819? Peter came to Australia in 1846 after a year in Tasmania.

He married Amy Craft in Newtown, Tasmania about 1844 or 1846.

He is proving to be difficult to trace back not knowing the county etc.

Any help is very gratefully received. Many thanks....helenstapo.

Hi Helen,



Nanna is unable to answer her posts at the moment. Please see the first post in the forum.

Hi Helen,



Apologies for taking so long getting back to you.



The only names on disc are as follows:

Mrs. A Simmonds, Longton, Preston

and H. Simmonds, Longton, Preston.



Sorry I couldn't help on this occasion.

They moved to the Oldham Lancashire area between 1881 and 1901. I know Sarah married a John W Heathcote but I can't seem to track partners and siblings of George, Charles or Mary Ann, any info greatly apreciated Nanna. Sorry to be such a pain.
