Find Ancestors

Yes, I know, Sylvia.

Carole, why do you think he was born c1790?
His 1818 marriage record gives no age. Have you found a date somewhere else?

Thank you Argyllgran and Sylvain for the info.
I did look in my records yesterday to see where I got 1790 from and couldn't find any notes.
I did wonder if at sometime I had seen the baptism and assumed the year from that.
It is also possible that I got the info. from a relative, I'm just not sure .

So it's possible that Stephen from Stony Stratford might be the correct one.

In case he is, I'll post some more.


I think this is Stephen's marriage to Elizabeth:

Elizabeth Simpson
mentioned in the record of Stephen Anderson and Elizabeth Simpson
Name Stephen Anderson
Spouse's Name Elizabeth Simpson
Event Date 27 Dec 1840
Event Place Kingston-Upon-Hull, York, England
Father's Name Thomas Anderson
Spouse's Father's Name William Hannah
Marital Status Widowed
Spouse's Marital Status Widowed


This could perhaps be the birth of the Elizabeth's daughter Eliza, listed in 1841 census as "not born in county":

Eliza Hey Simpson
England Births and Christenings
Name Eliza Hey Simpson
Gender Female
Christening Date 05 Jun 1831
Christening Date (Original) 05 JUN 1831
Christening Place SELBY,YORK,ENGLAND
Father's Name Henry Simpson
Mother's Name Elizabeth


I know that John and Emma (listed in 1851 census) have mms Simpson even though Elizabeth's maiden surname appears to have been Hannah.

I don't see the birth of Clara or Harriott, but this looks like Clara's marriage:

Marriages Mar 1860 (>99%)
Devonshire George Northampton 3b 115
Simpson Clara Northampton 3b 115


Clara in 1861:

(Address: 19 Lower Grafton Street )

They were still living at that address until at least 1891, with several children.
By 1911 Clara was widowed and living with son William (a clicker, like his stepfather Stephen) at 19 Arundel Street.
She died in Northampton in 1914.

Thank you Argyllgran I'll look into that.
Sorry not to have replied sooner have had a family bereavement.
