Simpkins/Simpson/Devey Middlesbrough

[madpants]

Hi,

My GG Grandmother was born Emily Roshannah Devey in 1839 in Stockton, she married William Simpson in 1860 (in Auckland I think from the BMD records) and they had 6 children from what I can gather from census and BMD records

Annie Elizabeth approx 1860
Jane approx 1863
William approx 1866
Ellen/Helen approx 1867
Margaret 1871
Daisy 1873

William then died and she married my GG Grandfather Thomas Simpkins and they had

Frederick 1878 (who married Fannie Harrison Robinson in 1901)
Charles who married Ada Scrafton and they are my G Grandparents.

I have no idea what happened to the Simpsons, there are various combinations of them living with Emily and Thomas on the censuses and some living with maternal Grandparents on the 1881 census.

I think Annie Elizabeth married Cornelius E Gallagher because I found a marriage for her and Philip Gallagher grandson is with Thomas on the 1901 census, but otherwise the Simpsons appear to have disappeared into the ether,

Can anyone help please?
