Hello all,
I've posted queries abut these families before (and had some very helpful
replies) - I have a bit more information now, so I'll give it another bash.
I'd love to find any descendants of Ellen THOMAS who married
(1) Walter SIMON, died 1880 (no idea when he was born)
(2) Thomas PARRY, born about 1852 in Denbighshire
Ellen THOMAS was born about 1845 somewhere in Denbighshire, probably around
Ruthin (census entries vary).
She married Walter SIMON in the 1860s and had the following known children:
Walter SIMON born c 1866 Ruthin
Thomas SIMON chr Feb 25 1868 Llanfwrog
John E. SIMON born c 1874 Cardigan?
Robert O. SIMON born c 1875 Cardigan?
Frederick A. SIMON born c 1879 Llanfwrog.
Walter was a publican and they moved around a bit. He died in 1880 and in
1881 Ellen was a widowed publican in Liverpool.
Later that year she married Thomas PARRY in Liverpool. In 1891 they were
living in Llanynys with Ellen's children Robert O and Frederick A SIMON and
Thomas and Ellen's children:
Richard M. PARRY born c 1885 Liverpool
Janet PARRY born c 1888 Llanynys
According to the 1901 index, Ellen and Thomas were still living in Llanynys
in 1901 with Frederick and Richard.
Many years ago a descendant of Ellen and Walter SIMON sent a family tree to
a relative here in Australia (I believe he was also a Walter SIMON but not
certain), and we would love to make contact because we know very little
about Ellen's forebears. We are descended from her brother Thomas, who came
to Australia in the 1860s.
Many thanks,
