Research Notes

- Beatrice's birth does not appear to have been registered, however there is evidence to believe that she was the daughter of a local Charles Henry Simmonds and his first wife Dorothy Limb.^[7] The following entry appears with the family notices for her first husband George Till in the "Heroes of the Great War" segment of the Chronicle (Adelaide) November 27 1920 p11: "TILL - In memory of Private GA Till, who died at Fremantle, November 20, 1917.[verse]- Inserted by CH and A Simmonds." 'CH and A Simmonds' would be her father Charles Henry and his second wife Alice Stokes^[8].
- Beatrice's birth year is given as 1878 at her death but 1882 at her first marriage.
