Hi,

just want to say thank you so much for the help. I have know found Sarah Simpson mother and Father.

So Sarah dad William and mother were cousin ? with both having the same surname.

You need to check carefully before assuming any relationship between Sarah’s parents…..Simpson is a very common name.

Further thoughts about Edna Simpson's father Richard.-

Sarah Boden appears to be his first wife, and mother of Edna. (1831 marriage record, and Edna's christening, in my last post).

In 1841 there's no wife listed with Richard, and in 1851 and later, his wife is Lydia.

Richard's second marriage:
