I have a James Simpson born approx 1802, living in Widewall in South Ronaldsay in the 1821 census.  Have no ideas where he was born, or who his parents were. He was my 3x gt grandfather.

I have 7 James Simpsons in my tree so far.The closest I have to yours is 1799 on Stroma.My line went to Orkney between 1826 and 1841.My Ggrandfather came to Canada in 1880.Probably some connection but with so many of the same first names it gets confusing.
