I am trying to find a marriage record for Henry John Sims, b.c1839, and Elizabeth Walters, b. 1841, in Somerset, possibly Bath, in about 1858. Can you help? |

I am not seeing a marriage that fits with that information. |

Yes, that is the couple. Eliza was born in Bath. |

I checked out that census earlier and wondered if that Henry, was actually William Henry Sims........ |

My second cousin, William Arthur Sims, told me Elizabeth Walters was married to his great grandfather, Henry John Sims. The information was obtained from William's grandfather's birth certificate. |

Did Elizabeth remarry Robert Wickham? |

This seems to be the one who married Robert Wickham: |

William Arthur Sims grandparents were William John Sims and Annie Maria Butcher both born, I believe in the 1880s. |

So if this is William John & Annie Maria could it be that the boarder Lewis Wickhham is actually William John's half brother going according to the marriage of Robert Wickham & Elizabeth Sims and the 91 census where John W. Sims is 12 and Lewis Wickham 0? |

But, surely, Gritty, those Wickham boys on the 91 census should be her sons not stepsons? She married Robert Wickham in 1879. |

I have found a record on 1871 Census for Eliza and Henry Sims living at Mount Pleasant, Walcot, St Swithins, Bath with the Hathway family. Does this help? |

That 71 census is the first one that Brummiejan posted. But if that's your family we can forget about the one that married Robert Wickham. |
