Ellen SIMMONS (nee COBHAM) - Victoria

[InnesD]

Hi
Just been reading with great interest this info about Ellen Cobham. I'm descended from her daughter Sarah Selina Simmons and have a lot of info on the family, particuarly the old Cobhams, including a photo of Nathaniel Cobham, Ellen's grandfather from Ware, Hertfordshire. I have some info on the McLeods too - they were Scottish, not English, Colina was the daughter of Donald McLeod and Jane Gordon, born in Farr, Sutherland, probably displaced to the coast during the highland clearances. Happy to share everything I've got.  Drop me a line if you'd like more details.
cheers
Innes

You may already have this - or it may not be your person.
There is mention of the Will of an Aaron Simmons, Gent of St Kilda, on the Victorian site.  Unfortunately the actual will is not digitised but there is a list of his assets and ebts.  Wife is named as Maria.

Thankyou Judith,

So many new places to look at. Even though this is not our Aaron SIMMONS, it has exposed me to another resource to use.

I'll help you if I can, Daz, though all I can offer is possible lookups, as I'm not related to any of these names.

My research suggests that the Colina McLeod baptised at St Peter's Liverpool in 1832 was the daughter of Colin McLeod & Margaret, she was the sister of my husband's great grandfather Norman McLeod.  She married (1) Duncan Robertson Blair in 1851, then (2) Alexander Sorbison in 1856 and died in Liverpool, Lancashire.
