I have. I have corresponded with the site owner in the past. I believe that "Elizabeth" was anglo Indian, she is listed as the mother of Caroline Simmonds, daughter of Sgt. William Simmons and her name is listed as Elizabeth Wheatley. I believe Elizabeth was married before her liaison with William to a man named John Page, hence her name on her death certificate as Elizabeth Page. Why she chose to have her maiden name on Caroline's birth record I do not know. I have found a record on familysearch with a Conard Whitley as Elizabeth's father more research to be done to verify this though. But the dates really add up. I also have found some records that may indicate that William Simmons may have had a wife prior to Elizabeth but once again I cannot verify it and I cannot access the records in England because I live in Canada.
