Thank you so much for your help!
It took me a while but I've finally sorted everything out now! Phew! That 2011 thread was really, really really confusing. Give it a read if you fancy yourself a mind scrambling.

Now that I've sorted everything out; I have a new question.
Where can I find any records of George Simmons between 1851, where he was living single in the UK and 1867, where he was in the UK, married and with two American-born children!?
Where can I find any reference to my George travelling to, living in, possibly marrying in, travelling from etc the USA?

George Simmons was listed in the UK 1851 census as living single, in Essex Buckinghamshire.
In 1871 UK census, he was back in Essex, Buckinghamshire but with a wife (Dora Webster born in Buckinghamshire) and two American-born children.
I can give plenty more information than this, can anyone help me by looking up the travels/living/marriage/birth of any of these Simmons!?

The George and Dora Simmons' you refer to are my great grandparents.  I, too, am very interested in knowing the circumstances of their travels to and from the US.  I am in contact with descendants of one of their sons (Alfred, younger brother to Charles and Annie who were born in the US), and I hope they might shed some light on this.  I'll keep you posted.
Also, it appears that Annie Kate married a Walter Fitch in Chigwell in 1890, and had a son Arthur George Fitch born 1891.  I have not found any further offspring from there. 
One son, other than Charles, returned to North America (Manitoba, Canada).  I'm working on that one, too.

Hi all,

I'm a descendant of the (correct) Simmons family. My line is:
William Simmons -> George Simmons & Dorothy Savory Webster -> Arthur Simmons, and so on.

If you're interested in collaborating, I can be reached here: conleysull @ gmail dot com.
