I doubt the 1963 roll showing Joseph and Rebecca Simmons is the same Joseph as it has him still working, which is possible, but he would have been aged 69. So did they both go to America after 1954?

"Am I allowed to put copies of the marriage cert and death cert on this page?" Yes. Re... "do you think I should just buy the drucilla guy and james sim marriage certificate? will it list his parents? do you have any of the rego numbers?" You do not need rego numbers. Just type in the four names: James SIM, Drucilla GUY. Marriage year 1933. And you then press continue, when one result is shown. It should list the parents names for both the bride and the groom, as well as their ages, place of birth, occupations, names of witnesses. https://online.justice.vic.gov.au/bdm/index-search?action=getHistIdxSearchCriteria Mary Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

We have just purchased the marriage cert to May Pugh to confirm it. Yes she is young enough to be his daughter The Eleanor Sim who married John Thomas is a different Eleanor Sim. My Eleanor migrated to Canada with the Dickinson family - She had been living at the dickinsons since her mother died in 1913. She eventually married thier son George Horace Dickinson in Canada.

I was hoping if we could find a marriage for James that it would tell his father and mothers names and that way we could be sure I haven't got the money to just buy certificates unless I am sure of the data, I can't see any marriages on my ancestry that may even be him. His father is James Sim born 1971 south shields migrated to Australia then back to England to arrange for Beatrice armstrong and children to follow. The last one of her children was fathered by james sim and although named James Armstrong when he got to Australia he went by the name of James Sim (too many James Sim!) he was born in 1926. James and Beatrice married in 1927 in victoria and they all settled in Geelong. As far as I know no one had any contact with his first family after moving to Geelong. Yes I did purchase James and Beatrice marriage certificate which had all the children living at the time of 1927 and also purchased James 1871 death certificate, which named all his children but never said if they were alive or not. Am I allowed to put copies of the marriage cert and death cert on this page? Thanks again Kerryn Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
