Yes, Friern Barnet was a new place for me too :-)
Many online trees have John Simmons & Rhoda Barker mixed up / confused with John Avery Simmons & Rhoda Fuller -- 2 totally different couples.
Rhoda Fuller Simmons died 1906 and John Avery Simmons remarried (spelled Overy on marriage cert) in 1907 in Paddington, London to Olive Norah Davies. John and Olive remained in England while the other couple moved to Canada between daughter's birth in 1883 and 1887.
Thanks for all input -- it's much appreciated!!
