Hello,

I'm looking for parents of the Deane-Simmons family - namely, Cyril Deane-Simmons born 1888, Milton, Berkshire (according to 1901 census).

GRO index suggests mother was ___ Goodall.

Thank you

Thanks. I've checked this but not sure of parents names. I suppose I need to order birth certificate first.

A Charlotte Goodall married John Simmons 1887 in Pancras

Cyril was at boarding school in 1901 - wonder if his father was in the military?

No 1911 entry & no death in England - what is your connection to the family as it may help with searching

[Milliepede]

Is that the only census you have him on?

On the marriage CaroleW found John was 27 and down as a gentleman
Charlotte was 20

I think South Africa is involved here.  There are entries on Ancestry showing something on the SA Biographical Index but I don’t have a WW sub

The surname is showing as Deane-Simmons

What is the starting point for your search re "Cyril Deane-Simmons" ?     

Where have you found him?

There is a tree on Ancestry showing an Edward Deane-Simmons b 1902 the son of “Ms Goodall & J”

There is also an incoming passenger list 1935 from Mombasa  and a marriage in freebmd in 1954
