I don't know of any Shimming in the family. James Shimmin's parents seem to be Robt Shimmin (b1796) and Ann Kennagh(b1807). His parents might be Thos Shimmin and Ann Holmes/Halmes (m1793), of which his parents Thomas Shimin and Cath Clague, her parents Robert Holmes and Marjery Costean (m1774). Thomas Shimin's parents might be Robt Shimin and Isable Kneal; Marjery Costean's parents might be John Costean and Jony Duckin. I have worked out these relationships from the Mormon website based on likelihood from their ages, similarity of names, and places of christening and marriage. I haven't been able to trace the origins of Jane MacNeal/ MacNeil/Kneal b1823 Santon yet . I would also like to find out what happened to my great grandfathers brothers and sisters: James William chr 1845, Christian chr 1846, Amelia chr 1847, Walter 1854, Thomes 1855
