fiddling around trying to sort out the problem!!!


This is Jane with the children in 1911, and she says she is a widow ................. which may or may not be true

I'll check if a Thomas Timmins died

YES, a Thomas Timmins of the right age died in 1909 ....... so this family is NOT yours, and yours is still hiding from us :-)

I have a problem!!!


This Thomas on the 1901 really looks like yours ......


Name: Thomas Timmins

Relation to Head: Lodger
Gender: Male
Spouse: Jane Timmins
Birth Place: Birmingham, Warwickshire, England
Civil Parish: Aston

Occupation: Spring Smith


BUT he's with a Jane, even though he supposedly married Catherine Donaldson in 1899, and I can't find an earlier marriage for Thomas to a Jane!


This is the full record for the 1901 ...............

Richard ......... I am not sure where safc got her transcript from ............. whether it was GR or FMP (FindMyPast)

This is the version that I found on ancestry


1911 Census

Name: Thomas Simmins
Age in 1911: 42
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1869
Relation to Head: Head
Gender: Male
Birth Place: Birmingham
Civil Parish: Aston
County/Island: Warwickshire
Country: England
Street address: 58 Greenway St
Marital Status: Married
Occupation: Cable Jointer
Registration district: Aston
Registration District Number: 385
Sub-registration district: Deritend
ED, institution, or vessel: 35
Piece: 18182

Thomas Simmins 42
Catherine Simmins 37
Thomas Edward Simmins 11
George Simmins 8
Hale Simmins 7
Ernest Simmins 3



Looking at the actual image it is indeed Timmins ................ but the transcriber had difficulty with it because it was a copper plat T, with scrolls, so looked rather like an S

However, the initial letter of Thomas is exactly the same.


I have sent in an amendment to ancestry for you



I found it by using the wild card * ................... * on ancestry, not sure about GR, stands for any number or unknown letters

I asked for Thomas *immins


and I will try that for the 1901.




As regarding your other question ...........................



those of us who help others have our own annual subscriptions to sites, and usually to sites other than GR.

It does not cost us any more money to do look ups for other people.


The only site where most people will not do look-ups for others is Scotland's People ............ that site does not have annual subscriptions, everyone has to buy credits.

Thank you, this sounds correct, could Simmons be the error of the scribe?,Timmins is recorded for Kate birth and marriage. How did you work this out? As you realize I am knew to this type of search for family records. Would I find the names as Timmins going back 10 yrs
More important are you using valuable credits for this search I should send you some of mine.
This is an excellent site with help from experienced members. I need to learn quickly to find myself. Many thanks for your help again. Did you see the photo did I correctly load up? Thanks Richard Higgerson age 54 yrs
