Look Up Please - Bristol 1861 or 1871

[Mary Crane]

Hi
I'd appreciate a Look Up in the 1861 or 1871 census for Bristol for James Simmons (or Symons) born 1832/33.
He was probably living at 31 William Street, St. Philips (although I'm not 100% sure of this), with his wife Mary, and by 1871 five children.  I'm trying to discover where he was born as the information I have doesn't appear to be accurate.  I know he was born in Devon, as was his wife who was born at High Bickington.

Many thanks

Mary C

Hi!
Dont know if this is any help but James Symons married Mary Davey in Torrington 1854. She was a widow in 1881 living with her daughter martha.
The only James Symons who seems to fit was born at Tiverton in 1831 parents Thomas and Martha.

Regards Mary
