Thank you, Matron54.
I would be very much interested to know if Mary Olivia Simonds's name appears in the history of St Mary's School. I'm not sure about the Edward Simonds who died in the Uttoxeter workhouse, though, since the age is so different. My great-grandfather Edward would only have been in his mid-40s in 1903. Nothing definitive so far, and I'm quite sure he didn't follow the family to the US.
