Help to find Henry Simmons

[jbj63]

Can you see his enlistment records?  I can't find a birth that matches.

Yes they're on Find My Past.

Do they give any next of kin or other details?

Sorry don't have access to check for you but there is a

James IVISS on the 1929, 1930, 1931 & 1932 London, Electoral Registers
1832 - 1965 on Ancestry - perhaps there's other persons living in the same household

and a British Army WW1 Medal Rolls Index Card 1914 - 1920

I think the above is the same one that's on the NA site (see link below)

there's also this death entry in Wandsworth on familysearch but he's born a little earlier 

James IVISS 1933 age 71 (born c 1862)

I know you are looking for a James IVISS and you may have already seen these entries but due to their unusual surname IVISS I thought I'd post anyway just in case there's a connection to James

Have you considered any of these birth entries from FreeBMD as a possibility for Henry?

SIAMONS Male Dec 1889 St.Geo.East 1c 342

SYMONS Male Dec 1889 St. Geo. H. Sq. 1a 460

later birth entries

SIMMONS   Male   Sep 1890   Shoreditch   1c   56

SYMONS Henry Dec 1895 St. Geo. East 1c 357

Ah he says he's born in London c 1868 but living in Brighton.

I wonder if this might be James IVISS birth entry
