As I only have one post so far and want to reply to a PM I am posting this (and another similar post) in order to increase my number of posts to three so that the messaging facility is activated.

Rutland Lookup Requests / Re: South Luffenham railway station

By coincidence, I found your post while doing exactly the same thing as you. Joseph Alfred Simpson was my second great uncle (so you and I are distant relatives) but from looking at census returns many of my direct ancestors (including his younger brother, my great grandfather) obviously spent a lot of time living with him. My g-g-f was there at South Luffenham with him for two separate successive censuses and I suspect that Joseph probably took a key role in bringing him up. Tracing his story it strikes me that he must have been a linchpin in his family and I instinctively like him!

If you pick up this message up I'd be interested to hear some more about what you have found out about him.
