1851 Census - Strathdon, Aberdeenshire
Alexander Coutts Head 54 Farmer 3 acres b. Crathie, Aberdeenshire
Margaret Coutts Wife 63 b. Keldrammie,Aberdeenshire
Arthur Simpson Nephew 20 Ag. Servant b. Towie, Aberdeenshire
Margaret Simpson Gt. Niece 14 House Servant b. Keldrammie,Aberdeenshire
1841 Census - Tarland & Migvie, Aberdeenshire
John Simpson 60 Independent b. Aberdeenshire
Arthur Simpson 10 ditto
Ann Stewart 15 ditto
Towie is the correct place name - not covered on IGI but there is an entry which has been posted by member of LDS church:
William Simpson bp.26/3/1819 Towie, Aberdeenshire, son of John Simpson and Isobel Dickison - this couple married at Towie 21/8/1808.
Hope this is a start.

Looked up Margaret Coutts death on Scotlands People - she died aged 76 on 3/9/1862, married to Alexander Coutts, Crofter who was the informant of her death - cause of death not given but her parents are given as:
James Simpson, Farmer (deceased) and Margaret Simpson, formerly Williams (deceased).
The place name given on the 1851 Census transcript as Keldrammie should be, I believe, Kildrummy which is just up the road from Towie. The parish births for Kildrummy are on IGI but the only Simpson ones there are:
Peter bp.6/4/1770, James bp.1/1/1762, George bp.19/10/1766 - entered as Symson and father of all 3 being a James.
Simpson baptisms at Towie are all children of previously mentioned John Simpson and Isobel Dickison (or Duckison):
Adam 7/7/1827, Alexander 4/1/1815, Barbra 5/7/1823, Isobel 4/1/1811, James 3/6/1809, Jane 16/11/1817, John 2/2/1813, William 26/3/1819 - alas, Arthur's not shown.
Only other one at Towie is Margaret 6/3/1837, dau. James Simpson and Margaret Milne and this could possibly be the Margaret - gt. niece - with Alexander and Margaret Coutts in 1851 (even though birthplace then is given as Kildrummy).
In Scotland the eldest son is usually named after paternal grandfather - as John and Isobel named theirs James this would tie in with the parents given for Margaret Coutts.
That's as much as I can find on-line I'm afraid.
Good Luck.

The honest answers are 'I don't know'. I would have thought there was something as so many people emigrated during this period. Logically, one would think from Glasgow but possibly it would have been Liverpool.
Hopefully a more informed rootschatter could answer this one.

Since postinghave talked to a relative who understood that William came to Canada first , with his parents. Simpson Senior was a teacher. My relative has been unable to locate the burial place of the parents and wondered if they "gave it up as a bad job" and returned to Scotland Again, thankyou for your assistance
