Thanks Gerry. I have already got that info, though - found it when I searched the full name in quotations.

Have you also spotted the following :   (It is not possible to confirm if this is the same chap as on the 1828 Census)

1829
Parish of Maitland, County of Northumberland, School teachers
John and Mrs Simpson, with 14 pupils, free at Wallis Plains.   John to receive £40 and Mrs S to receive £10

I will try to find further info re Susan SIMPSON.

Possible marriage

John E SIMPSON and Susan BAKER in 1827 Sydney, Scots Church, Presbyterian.   A summary of the clergyman's record of that marriage is indexed as Volume 73A and line 40 at the NSW BDM online index.   It is likely that will not have a lot of information, and so perhaps further info would be on film at the NSW State Library, Macquarie St, Sydney, in their family history section.   I do not live in Sydney, so I am not able to readily access that film.



Cheers,  JM

From familysearch org's new website

John Ewbank SIMPSON married Susan BAKER 11 December 1827 in Sydney Town.

The film at NSW SL should contain the image of that marriage ceremony.  It is likely that the clergyman may have included the ages for both the bride and groom in the "white space" just to the left of their signatures.  The image will also provide the signatures of the witnesses, and the status of both the bride and groom (ie spinster/widow and bachelor/widow etc).

Cheers,  JM

Thanks again JM.
