The report doesn't mention the child's name, but the birth of an Ada Sims COLES was registered in Woodstock Reg. District June Qtr. 1867 3a 660 which sounds as if it could have been her with SIMS as a second Christian name. Woodstock covers Deddington. On the 1871 census Ada would appear to be in Whitwood, Yorkshire, aged 3, a niece to John COMPTON 47, a Coal Miner, & his wife Keziah 46 ( nee REEVES ). If you think this is connected to your family research, contact me direct & my wife & I will try to help further.
