Berkshire Lookup Requests / Re: 1851 Census for Berkshire lookup request

It really doesn't look like jessy but I guess it could be.  there is two similar loopy letters that look like f's or j's.

On both of James' marriage records his father has witnessed, once in 1867 as James Sime as a  carpenter and again in 1887 as Edward Sime as what looks like Butler as the occupation which I thought was kind of strange... maybe he retired from carpentry or maybe it was written in error??? not sure.  At this point I have no idea what James' mother's name is or where his father was born.

No not really it is County of Buckingham sub district of Eton and I can`t really make out anything of the writing...  looks like march 26 1843 at Eton in the When and Where born box then for the name, surname and maiden name of mother it just says what looks like Fefsy Symes  Name and surname of father and occupation boxes are completely blank. Signature and residence of informant only says Fefsy Symes Mother Eton.  Her first name is a bit of a mystery... very hard to read. :(

Well believe it or not... I finally got the birth certificate for James Edwards Syme... and it's really poor quality so I can't read the mothers name and there is no father  ???  what are the chances of that...

So I guess that one is a dead end  :-\

Guess I'll keep on searching... thanks again for all your help everyone.

I guess that could be it :) in the 1891 Census it's written as Seine... but it gets more clear after that... it's just weird that his son Charles is shown with his Uncle as Smith as well.  very strange... wonder if they were hiding from something.

All the birth records I have from that period are all Sime or Sim

I guess there is the surrey connection you were looking for... both Jessie and Walter were born in Reigate Surrey. 

I don't think I ever would have found them under the name Smith... very confusing.

You have no idea (or maybe you do :) ) how long it's taken to track James and his family down... I can't believe his name is spelled so many different ways.  You have helped so much in filling in the many gaps. 

I have records that I've unfortunately left at home, I will post some dates tonight but I think one of the kids was born in Surrey.  I didn't even know about Walter Sime (Smith) he is news to me.  I knew about Alfred and Charles.  Jessie is there somewhere but she is a bit of a mystery too. 

I'll post more info when I get my hands on it :)

I'm in Canada... I wish I were in England to do some hands on research myself.  thank you again for helping me.
