Westmorland / Re: Simpson, Bracken - Kirkby Stephen
« on: Friday 01 April 16 00:09 BST (UK) »
I googled Kirkby Stephen Simpson and found my family. I would like to know more about the Simpson Bracken connection please.
Henry Simpson, born 1751 Kirkby Stephen, son of Anthony Simpson. Found newspaper death ref to Anthony brother of Henry in Newcastle. I've got several letters relating to Rev Bracken of Snaith from ecclesiastical records at Borthwick Inst. York. Rev Henry Simpson vicar of Whitgift had close connections with Rev E Bracken.
Henry had daughter Alice who had daughter Catherine married John Hart, junior curate at Whitgift Church. I know a fair bit about them.
Also please does anyone have any info on Jane Coates who married Henry Simpson in 1775.
