Hi Len,

Is the Thomas Shimmin you are referring to married to Ann Cowley?

The one I am looking at in JoDaviess claims Thomas Shimmin married a Ann Kinsman, there were other facts incorrect so am not sure - the daughter Eleanor is listed as being born in the USA on one census, the others list her being from England or the Isle of Man in birth is listed as being 17 Jun 1837
