This is the only Simon I could find in Donald Whyte's book:

McLeod, Simon. From ROC. To Adelaide Twp, Middlesex Co., ONT, ca1850. Stld Strathroy, later Nairn. Local Councillor.

Here is a John McLeod went to Middlesex County:

McLeod, John, From Is Skye to Middlesex Co, ONT, 1841. Stld West Williams Twp, Con 16, 1844. Ch: 1. James; 2. Archibald; 3. Neil; 4. Mary; 5. Sara; 6. Annie; 7. Mrs Clark.

Also unusual is how late he married Anne. He was 47, an unusual age for a first marriage at that time. They had several children.

Where did you get his age at marriage? The marriage registration says he was 37 years old, not 47.

From looking through the other threads I would suggest that you don't automatically discount entries that don't seem to fit. It is possible they were "unofficially divorced" since getting an official one wasn't an easy process at that time. It wouldn't have been unusual for either of them to lie about their status when remarrying.

My grandfather's first wife moved to the US shortly after my grandfather returned from WWI. She was in a common law relationship there while my grandfather married my grandmother in Ontario. He listed himself as being single on their marriage registration even though he was never divorced from his first wife.
