  • Name Thomas Simpson 
    Birth Abt 1736  [1
    • There are several candidates for his birth.
      1736 - Sep, Dalton, son of James of Newbarns
      1736/7* - Feb Aldingham, son of Richard of Newbarns
      1738 - Jul. Dalton, son of James of Pesholms
      *pre 1752 so 1st part of year is mixed date

      Based on the fact that his marriage bond mentions James Simpson, I am inclined to think that his father was James.

      That reduces us to 2 options September 1736 and July 1738
      Based on his age at death (80) in 1817 that leads us to the 1736 entry.

  • Notes 
    • Looking at the marriage bond we get the names of another Simpson - James, a Smith.
      Both Thomas and James were from the parish of Dalton
      Thomas was a husbandman.
      It is likely that James was either Thomas's brother or father.
      Did they need the bond because Isabel was under 21?
