Thankyou for checking out the Tolliday marriage Chris.

I think I might have to put this one on the back burner Gins.

Thank you both for taking the time to look for me.

Much appreciated. David.

The 1888 Marriage was to William Tolliday, on Ancestry, Father as Joseph Sims. Labourer.

(wouldn't worry too much about Anna/Ann/Anne etc.)

No marriages showing between 1891 and 1911 for an Anna E Sims.

David Report 9 Dec 2014 13:47

I forgot about that Chris.

On the birth record she is Anna and the baptism she is Ann.

Hi

I have the birth and baptism records of Ann Elizabeth Sims

Born 1870 St George, Hanover Square, London

She appears with her parents George and Mary on the 1871 and 1881 census

She appears as Annie on the 1881


1881 England Census
about Annie Sims Name:Annie Sims
Age:10
Estimated Birth Year:abt 1871
Relationship to Head:Daughter
Father:George Sims
Mother:Mary Sims
Gender:Female
Where born:St George, Middlesex, England
Civil Parish:St George in the East
County/Island:London
Country:England
Street address:1 Bostock St

Household Members:

George Sims 62
Mary Sims 41
Annie Sims 10

Perhaps there is something I am missing, but I can't seem to find anything about her after the 1881 census.

Her Father died in 1883 and she is not with her Mother on the 1891.

Can anyone help please?
