Title: Bungay - SIMMS
Post by: Hissey on Sunday 25 September 11 16:02 BST (UK)
Hi - I am looking for the marriage of a Robert Ernest Simms and Beatrice Jane Knights (though this name may be incorrect) which I have recorded as 17th April 1910 in Bungay.  Cannot find it on Free BMD, so need to check the original records.  Any offers of a lookup would be gratefully received, thank you.

It is on freebmd but spelt Sims June qtr 1910 Wangford 4a 1781 (the GRO index has it as Sims so not a transcription error on freebmd)

Thank you for your help - I forgot to check on the spelling.  Would still like details from the original parish entry if anyone has it?  There is some query over the bride's surname.

What is the query over the brides name?

I'm not entirely sure - I have been asked to check on the details by a friend.  I will see if I can find out anything further.

I just wondered  :)

In case it is any help to you there is a birth
Births Mar qtr 1882   
Beatrice Jane Knights   
Wangford  4a 845

The other names on the same reference for the marriage are George Remblance and Emily Francis and they appear to be married in the 1911 index Wangford district
