Francis Alfred Bloxham and Charlotte Ann Simms both lived in the same small market town of Shipston-on-Stour situated in South Warwickshire. Shipston was a working Wool Town and Charlotte’s Father William was employed as a Plush Weaver and Francis’s father Alfred worked as a Cordwainer (shoe maker). They were to have only one child Frank Henry Simms born in 1892 and he was moved ‘up North’ to be brought up by his Uncle George & Auntie Ann in Hull.
My thanks to Brian Abshier of Texas for creating this wonderful armorial which tells part of my families history.
