George Simpson - Publican

Hmmmm not sure where John fits in but.......

There is a John Simpson baptised in St. Mary, Newark on 01 Sep 1826
father John and mother Ann. Father Occupation Ostler.

But as you see this John was baptised on the 1st September and Georges son Henry was baptised on 17 September of the same year.

Now not an impossibility but why would he be John to baptise his son on the 1st but George to baptise his other son on the 17th.

I would hazard a guess at John and George being 2 different people. You and Flook have been at this a lot longer than me so you tell me

 

I would have said that this is the brother and sister shown in the 1851. so this is 'your' John's parents maybe?

 

I agree but if we assume that, then why are George Simpson and Ann living in Beaumond Street in 1841, and then in 1851 Ann is living with a John Simpson at the same address? I thought I found a death for George in 1849 but if I did, who on earth is John?

 

Talking of licenced victuallers, have you checked the records for licencees? The following website has some very useful information. Scroll down and it will tell you where to find the records.

Oh crikey

 

oops. look at H0107; 868; 5/4 1

 

Seems George and Ann are on the next page 868; 5/5 3 going to bed now.

 

Nope even without all of this I thought that is what he was doing. Thank you so much for digging about with this Flook. Grrrrrrrrrrrr is all I can say.

Apparently, there is a link within this website that does not work. It is for the Family Records Centre, which used to be in Myddleton Street, London. This has closed and all of those records moved to The National Archives.

 

Ann George Simpson of Beamond Street was kicked by a mare and died 21 June 1849 apparently in Market Rasen. He was returned to Newark and buried there. I wondered whether there was anything in the newspapers about this accident. If you got five minutes to dig around I would be grateful.

 

Pity there wasn't a brother George in there somewhere Chimpy. The George in Beamond Street was not of county but as he popped his clogs in 1849 we don't know where he was from.

 

So, just to tie off the loose end. If George died in 1849 what happened to the rest of the family? Henry married the same year, Fred died in 1846. No idea about the rest. I cannot find Ann in 1851 but have only looked superficially.
