What leads you to believe she married a John Simmonds?

There is an Elizabeth Simmon(d)s, born in Lydford of the right sort of age and married to a John on the 1861 census.

However, her maiden name would appear to be Hutchings (going on the birth regs of the children with them).

Thankyou Sally and Karen, I had been trying to find the maiden name via the children to no avail, so that eliminates another avenue. Thankyou again.

If you register with the General Register Office for ordering certificates, you can ascertain ages at deaths from 1837 and also maiden names of births from 1837. It is free and I have found it a godsend.
