Living SIMPSON descendants
« on: Sunday 23 March 08 23:11 GMT (UK) »
Seeking any living descendants of my great grandmother, and will start with two youngest brothers since I know wive's and children's names.  Have no idea on how to proceed, or if even possible.

1) John Thomas Simpson b 1877 d ???
In Shropshire Light Infantry

John T. Simpson married Edith  (Emily???) May Garrett in Bombay, India (Colaba) on 8 Dec 1904.  Chaplain was C. J. W. Hatchell and witnesses were W.T. Jones and R.W. Nuttall.  They had 3 children:  Violet May, b. Fyzabad, India, 17 Nov 1905, Gladys Ivy, b. Shrewsbury 18 Aug 1907, and Jack b. 12 Apr 1912 in Trimulgherry, India.

Upon retirement from army in 1916 said he planned to live Cleveland House, Cherry Orchard, Shrewsbury, Shropshire.

Have checked FreeBMD for childrens' marriages - no success.

2) Charles Simpson b 1880 d after Nov 1956
Staff Quartermaster Sergeant in "B" Squadron of Q.M.O. (Queen Mary's Own) 18th Hussars, and later (1911-1915) Warrant Officer.
Charlie married Edith Annie Bowen in Nás na Riogh, County Kildare, Ireland 14Jan1908.  Charlie and Edith had a dau. Joan Edith born 23Jun1911 and christened 16Jul1911 (CofE.), in Tidworth, Andover, Hampshire, England.

No idea if they had other children.

May have later moved to Birmingham.

Any help appreciated.

Hi Nick,

You will not be able to find the marriages on FreeBMD as it does not go past about 1919 at the moment.  You will need to search the full index, quarter by quarter, on www.ancestry.co.uk.
