Hi Elsinore
   Thought you was kind of related. so my Dad would be your Husbands great Uncle, wow
The story I was told that William (i think) had been a stowaway on a ship, he arrived in England
we have an Aunt by marriage in cleethorpes and already sent her an email for more info
fingers crossed eh,
Will have to try and work it all out now

Thank you Aghadowey for your help, as the family move around you loose contact with them
Then when you want to know about the History It's too late

P.S on winifred birth certificate it states William simpson was a rope maker (looks like journeyman)
lived at fleetgate barton

Hi Aghadowey
 I think your information is right as I belief Mary was born in Newcastle according to my cousin's family Tree, but if I remember rightly there is some link to Ireland but can't remember my Father's correct information
Winifred Simpson my late grandmother married Clarence crosskill had 3 children Eva, Leslie and Rowland crosskill who is my late father they all came from Grimsby/cleethorpes
