Ellen SIMMONS (nee COBHAM) - Victoria

[grantleydawn]

Could someone please look up the death/burial details of the first wife of Aaron SIMMONS.

She was Ellen COBHAM and they married in 1873.

The birth of their children, consistently record her as Ellen COBHAM.

His second marriage (in 1914) records that his wife died in 1896.

I have not been able to find her death or birth details.

Could someone please help me.

Hi Dee,

Well done.

I note your interests in the BURTON family. This will be a long shot, but do you know anything about Ann Jane BURTON (She was the second wife of Aaron SIMMONS and she is my real interest.

Details compiled from her marriage certificate and her death certificate, construct her as;
Ann Jane BURTON, daughter of William John BURTON & Margaret HALL. Born about 1856 in Carrick, Tasmania.

Marriage certificate (28 Nov 1882) states;
born Carrick, Tasmania, aged 26, parents William John BURTON & Margaret BURTON (nee HALL)

The name HALL was used for one of her children - Maude Elizabeth Hall BOWMAN.

Death certificate (20th Oct 1944) states;
born Carrick, Tasmania, 86 years in Victoria, 2 years in Tasmania

I have searched everywhere (that I can think of) and spent an exhausting amount of time researching her and I have struck a total deadend with the above information.

I can find nothing on her parents.

Any help would be extremely welcomed.

Regards
Grantley

Sorry Grantley.....as far as I know, my Burtons all remained in Norfolk, although I suspect one went to the USA.

I can't see a Wiiliam John Burton's death in Victoria, and I have no access to any Tasmanian information that is not online....... 

Glad to have helped with Ellen/Helen's death though......

Thanks again, Dee.

In such a short time (per the AVRI), I now have;
Alfred COBHAM & Colina McLEOD had at least the following children;
Charles b.c1854 d.1877
Ellen b.c1855 d.1894
Alfred b.c1859 d.1860
Christina b.c1861 d.1862
Colin Campbell b.1864 d.1864
William b.1865 d.1866

1860 is the first entry located, so far, in Victoria.
