Simon Woodyatt gives his birthplace as Bristol on the census records and his parents were recently located along with christening of children in Bristol by members of this family. The father, Thomas, was a baker. Simon and Ann went to Australia as a carpenter and his son Charles was born in Tasmania. In addition it appears that an older son, John, was also born in Australia and was not with them then they returned. It is probable that he died in Australia before they departed. It appears that Ann Marchant, wife of Charles died between 1881 and 1891 and the children were left in the workhouse while Charles went to Wales to work with his brother, Thomas, and after getting established there, took the children from the workhouse to Wales. One of the descendants of this family is Adam Woodyatt, the soap actor of Eastenders.
