Just trying to put together what has been found so far, you can look up these finds on Irish Genealogy and FamilySearch both free to use.

From your post
Benjamin John Simpson possibly born around 1820 in Celbridge Ireland Born England, died 1901
 Hannah Simpson his wife maiden name Smith possibly born around 1820 somewhere in Kildare her mother was Jane Smith ( maiden name Harkiness), Likely known as Hannah but born Anne Died 1904

 I believe based on a census in 1901 Benjamin and  Hannah Simpson resided in Big lane, Celbridge, Kildare, Ireland and belonged to the Church of Ireland. Benjamin may have been a farmer.

Some/All others not on Census (I think!)
Give a man a record and you feed him for a day.
Teach a man to research, and you feed him for a lifetime.
