Looking for Some Help on my Law Ancestors

I have been searching for my LAW family connection for years and I keep adding little pieces to possibly get a bit closer to braking my brickwall. The latest pieces follow.

I have now finally confirmed the name and information on my 4th great grandmother who married my LAW 4th great grandfather. She is Mary Ann SIMMONDS aka Ann SIMMONDS, bap 27 Feb 1810 at St. Andrew Holborn, London, Middlesex, England. She was the daughter of John Lockington SIMMONDS and Mary Maria DAVIES. Sometime in the middle 1830s she married my LAW ancestor. Two possible names are Richard or Fred LAW who seem to be associated with my family. It is unknown if she married LAW in England or here in the US. By 1836, I think the family was located in Howard Co, MO. I have confirmed that all the children of this LAW-SIMMONDS marriage were born in Howard Co, MO. The only LAW in the state of MO on the 1840 census is in Howard Co and his name is Richard. By the 1850 census, Mary Ann is in New Orleans (listed as Mrs. LAW) with the children and running a boarding house. In 1854 she married a William LELAND in NOLA. In 1856 she gave permission for her 16 yr old daughter Margareta LAW to marry Thaddeus Damascus VAN HORN (my 3rd great grandparents). This is the only official record where I she her sign her name as Mary Ann. All of the other records I have only list her as Ann including all the UK records I have seen. A Fred LAW was the person who gave Margareta away at her wedding. It is unknown if this was a brother, uncle, father, or? Sometime around 1857 (probably around Aug 1857 when her mother died in England), she returned to England and then on 4 Jun 1858 she married John Henry BURLINGSON at St. Giles. They were living at 5 Vernon Place, St. George, Bloomsbury Square, London on 7 Feb 1875 when she passed away. I have no idea where she is buried in the London area.

So does anyone know of any male LAW family members who may have married a Mary Ann SIMMONDS aka Ann SIMMONDS? It may be possible that Mary Ann might have been married at least once prior to her marriage to my unknown LAW ancestor, but I don't have any solid proof of this at this time.

My best guess is that I am dealing with a LAW family member living somewhere in or around St. Andrew Holborn during the middle 1830s.

If anyone has any clues, I would appreciate a note. Any piece of the puzzle you may have to pass along no matter how small is most appreciated.

Making Progress on my Law Family Research

I have finally made some headway in my Law family research. Here are some of the latest, and maybe one of you will recognize something to help me with the British portion of my research.

My 3rd great grandmother is Margareta Law (b. 2 Apr 1840, Howard Co, MO and d. 3 Jun 1918, New Orleans, Orleans Parish, LA)

She married my 3rd great grandfather Thaddeus Damascus Van Horn (b. 20 Oct 1820, Claiborne Co, MS and d. 5 Apr 1905, New Orleans, Orleans Parish, LA) on 12 Aug 1856, in St. Paul's Church, New Orleans, Orleans Parish, LA.

I have a complete history on this couple (including a picture of Margareta) on this blog at
http://larry-family-history.blogspot.com/2009/03/sketch-of-old-citizen-thaddeus-d-van.html

Margareta's brother was George H. Law. I have complete details on his life and family at http://larry-family-history.blogspot.com/2008/07/family-profile-george-h-law-sr.html

Now the for the new stuff.

Margareta and George's mother is Mary Ann Simmonds. Until about a month ago, not only could I not confirm that, but I never knew much at all about her.

I believe Mary Ann Simmonds married Richard Horton Law, sometime around the middle 1830s somewhere in the UK. I believe Richard was born in the UK around 1793, parents unknown. He appeared to disappear, probably passed away c. 1846 in Howard Co, MO, based on the best evidence we have right now. I have an IGI marriage records Richard Law m Ann Simms 21 Apr 1834, Saint Martin, Birmingham, Warwick, England. Not sure if this is them or what.

I next see Mary Ann on the US 1850 census in New Orleans with her children in New Orleans running a boarding house at 12 Carandolet.

On 6 March 1854, she married William D. Leland, in New Orleans. She signed as mother for her 16 years old daughter Margareta to marry in 1856. She then disappeared completely after that life event, until recently.

While working family obits at GenealogyBank recently I found the great golden nugget below.

New Orleans Times, 3-7-1875, Page 4

Died

BURLINGSON-Of chronic bronchitis, February 7, 1875, at her residence, No. 5 Vernon Place, Bloomsbury Square, London, Mrs. Ann Simmonds Burlingson (mother of Mr. George H. Law and Mrs. T.D. Van Horn) aged 65 years. and a resident of this city for many years.

New York City, Missouri, and Texas papers please copy.

So sometime after 1856 she returned to the UK, apparently married a man named Burlingson (I find no marriage record at this point over here so I assume she married in the UK), and died in London.

I have no information on her parents, info on her last marriage, when she returned to the UK, or where she is buried. Can anybody in the UK tell me where she is buried and if a tombstone pic is available? I don't have a clue where to check on London cemetery transcipts and pics.

Any help in filling in these last few holes of her life would be sincerely appreciated.
