My understanding is that the birth certificate for Emma and Thomas first child reads with the name SIMNITT in it, so it does not seem important to Emma, I would suppose, to hide who is the father of her child, although all of her children born to her and Thomas in England, appear to bear only the last name (surname) of the mother.
You can get a copy of the asylum record from Nottinghamshire by saying you are a descendent, although they say the information is confidential which you will obtain.
My understanding (this is actually Sharon Simnitt, the wife of Loren Simnitt, writing - I could not open an account because they require the email address be linked only to one purpose for the use on this website) so anyway, my husband is the youngest of the third generation of Thomas' children that were born in America, if I am correct. My husband was born in 1954 and his father was born in 1903. His father was born in 1876, the youngest of Emma and Thomas' children and he was born in Kansas, United States.
So, out of this last or the youngest of the children of Thomas, comes this story which my husband and all of his family understood to be that pertained to Thomas leaving quickly for America (around 1871).

Nice to talk to you Sharon, thank you for communicating with me! I have a few items that you & your husband might be interested in. John Lyne's Election Bill, and some photos. Please tell me more about the recent generations of Simnitts. I'm keeping my Blind & doubly deaf mother, mentally active with new stories of her American family!

At last...confirmation from someone that my grandmother Virginia Simnitt Lorett did correspond with Simnitts in England. I was told this, but could not find out who she wrote to. Her mother was Etta (not Ella) Anderson Simnitt. Virginia's father was Joseph Garibaldi Simnitt. Virginia named her first son Aloysius Garibaldi Lorette. We always wondered where this name came from.

I know it's been some time since this posting but I just found this particular forum. I'm the great grandson of Emily Simnitt. I'm a descendant of those Simnitts who settled in Kansas. Our family story is that Emma was pregnant when she and Thomas boarded the ship on their journey to America and that she gave birth on the ship but that the child died and was buried at sea. The baby's name was Oceanna. After some time in America, Thomas returned to England to settle some business affairs. There are a couple of versions in the family of the reason he did not return to the US. One is that Thomas died of a stroke before his return. The other is that he settled his business affairs, purchased a ticket back to the US, and boarded the ship but wasn't on it when it arrived in America. I see the on-line record of his committal to the asylum and death while there. My family's oral history has no record of his committal once back in England nor the fact that the children had the surname of Wright prior to their arrival in the US.
