Transcriber Notes: St Hilary Anglo Catholic Church
SEMMONS mistranscribed and should read Simmons...
Three sons born from this marriage William H born 1871 Briton Ferry Wales, John Thomas born 1874 FALMOUTH and Thomas James born 1879 Liverpool...
I have no death recorded for William Simmons father of the above but Elizabeth did have another son born Richard Huges SWANSEA West Glamorgan in 1884..The Father of Richard was Thomas Henry Huges born 1842 Cornwall..
After Elizabeth born 1843 I have Thomas born about 1849 St Hilary...Thomas married Eliza Andrewartha 1868 St Hilary..Not sure of the exact date but I have 11/17 Jan 1868 Banns ?
Two children born from this marriage..Eliza Jane Prisk born 1869 St Hilary and Thomas Henry Prisk born 1871 St Hilary...This Thomas must be who my Grandfather was named after CT?
After Thomas born 1849 we have Jane born about 1850 and Baptised 22/01/1853 St Hilary..
