Madras Fusiliers. Have you checked this website http://www.mcskimming.org.uk/dsilva/WilliamSimmondsSnr.html Under the transcripts tab there are the records we have found in the British Library. I have always assumed that Elizabeth was an Indian lady and probably untraceable. I have looked for her in the British Library and not found any records relating to her - birth, marriage or death. I assume from the term - "particular friend" as she is referred to in the will that she and William were never married. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
