I have a Simmons / Crane connection in my tree.

William Simmons of Gloucestershire / wraxall / nailsea married sarah crane in 1832, these are my gt grandparents, Mary if there is any connection, can you please respond.

I believe williams parents to be William Simmons and hannah avery both of wraxall, but no confirmed evidence as yet to the link.

Any information on William simmons siblings and parentage would be great.

Regards

Hi Julie 

I'm sorry but I can't help you here.   Since my last posts (in 2005) I have managed to find out a lot more  about the Simmons family.  They were from Devon until James (1834) and his wife Mary Davey moved to Bristol sometime between 1856 and 1861.  None of my Simmons family were in Wraxall in the 1800's. 

As far as the Crane family is concerned I have only gone back to Frederick Crane (1813) and his wife Lydia Bailey (1806) both born in Bristol.  I haven't followed this family up further at this stage.  I suppose it is possible that Frederick had a sister Sarah but I haven't come across her.  If I do I will let you know.

Sorry I can't be of more help here.

Good luck

Mary

Hi Julie
Edna Simmons was a fourth cousin to my pal Diana, whose tree I am researching for her.
Edna's & Diana's common ancestors were Joseph Crane (1779-1842) and Sophia Shermer (abt 1783-1848)
How can we share lots of more detailed info?

I would be very interested in sharing information - Do you have an online tree.
