User Home Pages: The Simms Family of St John's Newfoundland
| My family is doing research and compiling information on our Simms family from St.John's Newfoundland. Our Simms ancestors arrived in Newfoundland in the early 1800s and our first direct ancestor was Charles Simms.He apparently arrived in Newfoundland with his brothers James, George and Henry and his sisters Sophia and Mary from England. Charles was a lawyer, brother James became the Attorney General of Newfoundland, George was a merchant, Henry a teacher and Sophia married Thomas Dalton and became the first Canadian newspaper publisher. Other family names include Pack, Ash, Henderson, Hayward from the communities of Harbour Grace, Carbonear and St John's. We would love to exchange information and correspond with others related to our families. | The Simms Family of St John's Newfoundland Updated November 11, 2007 |
