looking for parents of frances emily simmonds born 1874 kingswood. she was wed to a john castle reigate .amos balchin reigate. last one was william skinner southsea or portsmouth. sent for so many certificates thought iv try here fist this time .the familys are so mixed up.

where is Kingswood?

Sorry, you mean she had three husbands, is that right? If you ordered the marriage certificates did they not give her father's name?

Is this perhaps her birth, if you mean Kingswood near Bristol?

SIMMONDS Emily Clifton 6a 108

deleted as wrong county info

Ancestry brings up somone else with her in their tree:

* Birth: 1874 - Kingswood
* Death: Hampshire
* Parents: Thomas Simmonds, Elizabeth
* Spouse: Amos Ethrington/Balchin

Can't find records to match this, though

I know it's more expense but I'd say ordering one of the marriage certs is your best bet to get a father's name to narrow down census results.

Is there any other information you have about her like dayes of marriages etc.? Will keep looking.

If you tell us how you got back to her it might help .. sometimes makes things more obvious :)

is she Frances Emily or Emily Frances?

Re emily simmonds the ancestry one is the one iv got .but not shore if its the right parents she had a sister edith ellen simmonds wed to a golds but not shore if she was a half sister or not. frances emily wed john castle in1892 reigate . amos balchin ethrington 1909 reigate william skinner portsmouth in 1927 but it did not last long.she moved to cosham.??

if you get her first wedding cert it will be best then

Think there may be a mix up here Amos Balchin married Daisy Skinner ?
