Goodday again It looks like William Simson in Augadowy is the correct fellow---whets the next move? I appreciate your help,but don't know how to use this information."All the best"Larry ----- Original Message ----- From: David Balfour Beattie <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2003 10:19 AM Subject: Re: [Derry] Londonderry 1831 census Larry Try William SIMSON Aughadowy Townland Simson, William Township : Aughadowy Microfilm : Page 011

Larry Locating the Townland your ancestors came from is the key, although your Simsons left Ireland some members of the family would, almost certainly remain. You could start by finding out which Parish, Poorlaw Union and Registration district your Townland is/was in and look out Births Marriages and especially deaths for Simsons after compulsory registration. When you are reasonably sure that some of your Simsons are still there you can try the 1901 and 1911 census. Have you looked at Griffiths valuation? I can do a look-up if you require. Let me know how you get on Cheers Davy

Dear David, Could you please check for John Hassan/Hasson and Thomas Wallace in the census. Both lived in Londonderry at that time, acccording to the info passed down by the family. Thanks so much! Sandy.
