If you have them in the census with their wives then should be able to tell which one they married

Libby

Thanks Libby
I know the christian names from the census

Libby unfortunatly these names do not match the ones I got from the census

Rex

Oh

Do you want to tell me the christian names? I will take another look/

Libby

what names do you have for them?

I have Sarah 1831 with Thomas 1871 census
and Elizabeth 1863 with John 1891 census

Thanks in antisipation

Rex

where was thomas and john born?

Libby

It might be better to find the birth index of one of the children and send for the certificate which would give mothers maiden name

Census 1871
Thomas
Sarah
David 1859
John 1860
Emma 1864
Samuel 1866
Annie 1869
all were born in Cotgrave Nottinghamshire

Looks like Thomas was married earlier than you thought
1861 census
Name: George Simpson
Age: 10
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1851
Relation: Son
Father's Name: Thomas
Mother's Name: Sarah

Country: England
Household Members: Name Age
William Monks 27 lodger
David Simpson 1 7 Mo
George Simpson 10
Joseph Simpson 6
Sarah Simpson 30
Thomas Simpson 31
William Simpson 8

This seems to be the only Thomas in 1851 with birthplace details
Name: Thomas Simpson
Age: 21

Relation: Son
Father's Name: Benjamin
Mother's Name: Ann
Gender: Male

So perhaps marriage soon after census?

could be this one as Bingham is the registration district for Cotgrave
Name: Sarah Rolleston
Year of Registration: 1851
Quarter of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec
District: Bingham
County: Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire
Volume: 15
Page: 981
Thomas Simpson is one of the names on the index page.A childs birth cert would confirm mothers maiden name though

A possible for John if he also married in the same place
Name: John Simpson
Year of Registration: 1883
Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep
District: Bingham
County: Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire
Volume: 7b
Page: 651
Jane Elizabeth Stone .You may be able to find her in 1881 census and see if the details match the 1891

Janice
