Ralphe Harmsworth (Harmswood als simmonds)
John Simmonds als Harmsworth (wood) Sulhamstead Abbots 1563
Joan Symons als Harmsworthe 1590 Sulhamstead Abbots
ive just found out that this branch of the Harmswood,Harmsworth family are a branch of the Harmswoods of Heckfield and Mattingley just over the boarder in Hampshire.
The Harmsworth,s also used the alias of Symons,Simmons,Simmonds and can be found under that Surname in the IGI for Sulhamstead and Ufton Nervet.
It is unclear why they used the als of Symons whether it was a female ancestry line or a male ancestry line going back in the family.
Hope this helps anyone researching the Harmsworth families of Berkshire and north Hampshire.
