Genealogy of the Simpson Family

In recent years I have become increasingly interested in the history of both my own and Helen's families. (My Uncle Donald, who provided a wealth of information about the Simpson side, described it as a sure sign of growing old!).

Some of the principal names and locations in our ancestry are:

Names Locations
Simpson and Gordon Banf and Strathdon areas of Scotland
Sutton and Mortimer West Riding of Yorkshire
Harold Liverpool and West Indies
Goodall and Cottrell Liverpool, Birkenhead & Knaresborough
Parsons, Eeley and Freeborn Oxfordshire

There are now two ways to view the Simpson Family Tree:

As HTML Pages (Updated 2008-05-29) As a Java Applet (Updated 2008-05-29)
Part of our family tree can be viewed in detail starting from the list of SURNAMES or the index of PERSONS included here.

(This is only about a fifth of the family members in our database and just includes Judith's direct ancestors and their immediate family. Dates and other details have been excluded for people still living.)

Alternatively if your browser supports Java, click on TREE to load a Dynamic Family Tree. (Takes about a minute to download).

(This contains the complete database but again dates and other details have been excluded for people still living.)


Some of our more interesting ancestors are:

Name Location
William Capernicus Harold St Vincent in the West Indies
Walter & Ellen Freeborn Butcher in St.Clements, Oxford
(Watch this space for more!)

We are always interested in sharing information with anyone else having links to any of these families.

Please email Alan Simpson if you see any names you recognise.
