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.
