Hi Monica
You mention "Ancestry" as your source. Is this "Ancestry.com"?
Do you think that it is worth subscribing to?

Hi flst
Thank you for the information. William and Elizabeth were my 4 x Gr grandparents.
I have seen George's gravestone in New Aberdour's graveyard and do have his death certificate which states his parents were George Simpson and Jean Wilkie.
George and Ann's son was Andrew Findlater Simpson and it seems that ann's sister (Elizabeth) married Andrew Findlater - their son must have been Dr. Findlater. There is a well (which I have photographed) on the beach at New Aberdour called St. Drostan's well but it is in memory of Andrew Findlater. I would be really interested to read the full newspaper article. Where is it from? If you have it electronically, could you email it to me. How far back have you got with William and Elisabeth. I have only got to William's Mum and Dad and Elisabeth's Mum and Dad.
We must be some sort of cousins hundreds of times removed.
Nice to hear from you and thanks again.

Aberdeenshire / George Simpson

Hi everyone
My gr gr grandfather was George Simpson who was born in Rathen around 1800. He farmed at Crookahil New Aberdour. Hi wife was Ann Gall and they had 11 children ( My gr grandfather was Andrew Findlater) George died in1870. His father was also called George ( I think wife called Jean Wilkie?). I can't find anything about George the elder. Family sources tell me that there was a tie in with James Young Simpson (chloroform) but I am struggling to find the connection. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi everyone
I'm trying to get information about william raeburn who is listed in the 1851 census in Marnoch (age31). His wife is Jessie (Barron) and children Jane, John, Margaret, Barbara and Jessie. His wife died in 1857 and I can't find William after that. I am trying to trace william's parents. William is my gr. gr. grandfather. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
