I'll be glad to take credit but it was my friend Maureen who found the info re: Daisy.

Herbert's siblings, for the most part, seemed to have reached good ages before they died. Great finds re Daisy and Mahala, thanks Margee.

Hi everyone,

i'm trying to find out some info on Herbert George Simms born in London on 30th November 1898. He was the son of George William Simms, a train driver,of 33 Victoria Road, London. Herbert was educated at Haverstock Industrial and Commercial School. During the First World War he served in the Royal Field Artillery. He later moved to Dublin, Ireland where he worked as an architect and remained there until his death in 1948. I'm mainly trying to find out if he had any siblings and if so what became of them? Also, can anyone please help me to find his military records.

Thanks a mil,
Patrick.
