Goodman Godfrey Simmons

Born about 1853

London, England

GOODMAN/GODFREY SIMMONS born about 1853 in Spitalfields, London, England. Son of HENRY SIMMONS and RACHEL OTTOLANGUI. He married (1) ADELAIDE MARY DYER in 1875 in St Pancras, London, England. He married (2) KATE TEMPLE in 1898 in Paddington, London, England. She was born about  1863 in Chelsea, London, England.

Goodman travelled to Australia as a boy in the 1850's with his parents. The family returned to London between 1864 and 1868.
Kate is with Goodman on the 1881 UK Census, and they had quite a few children, however they did not marry until 1898!
I can not find a death for an Adelaide Simmons, but she must have died between 1875 and 1881 or Goodman and Adelaide may have separated. Goodman was in a relationship with Kate by 1881.
