*Arthur Charles Linay Simkin was born 1 June 1910 in Rochford, Sussex, England and died 5 March 1994 in Lismore, NSW, Australia. He married first Miriam Pashilinsky on 26 March 1941 in Exmoor, Somerset, England which ended in divorce. Next he married Patricia Mary Smith (1916-1995) in Hove, Sussex, England on 13 April 1946. They emigrated to Australia 13 July 1948. He was the brother of Hilda Mae Simkin (1905-1999), Phyllis Lyda Mabel Simkin (1907-2009), Doris Ethel Simkin (1908-2000), Thelma Irene Simkin (1915-2002) and David Charles Simkin (1923-2019). He was the son of Arthur Charles Linay Simkin (1876-1972) and Mabel Alice Cowan (1882-1961). I have a Sikin family tree posted at ancestry.com for anyone interested in seeing more details. I am seeking a picture of Arthur and/or Patricia. Thank you

Hello Jeffrey,
Welcome to British-Genealogy.
We do not allow more than one thread per person (being researched) because it usually leads to duplicated research and confusion so I have about moved your posts about Arthur into one thread.
I have also moved the thread to the 'General Family History' forum as it's slightly more than an 'this is me' introductory post.
Not quite sure what happened to the links in your second post but they're not working. I presume you're trying to post images, and if so, courtesy of another mod, Christina, this is how you're supposed to do it. (Don't ask me, I don't do techie stuff!! ) Copied from another thread.
I know research can be quite difficult when you live out of the area, but years ago the local papers used to print details of weddings, usually with a photo of the happy couple, so I would suggest (short of locating any living decendants/relatives) you start there. Many pages are available at the British Newspaper Archive (and all but the latest updates are available on Findmypast) though it is pot luck if your paper and your year has yet been uploaded in the ongoing project.
The Keep is, I believe, the main archive for East Sussex.
https://www.thekeep.info/
If you click on 'Family history' and scroll far enough down the page you'll see a link to newspapers. Hove newspapers seem a bit sparse for the dates you want, but The Keep should be able to tell you where the ones you want are held. Hove is immediately next to Brighton and some of the Brighton papers actually have 'Hove' in their titles. As well as a wedding photo, it would be worth checking out the papers round the time they emigrated. Emigration was big news back in the 40s and 50s.

Just checked the newspapers on FMP, and there's a brief report, though no photograph, of Arthur's wedding to Miriam, in the Western Morning News of 29 March 1941.
