I've been trying to find out who lived at 42 Forsyth Street, Duffus, Morayshire on the 1841 and 1851 Census but it appears there is no address in these years, |

Very few houses were numbered in those days.........it was the introduction and spread of the Postal Service which prompted house numbering. |

Bridge'ts husband was William Simpson, (my GGG'F), born 1816 in Alves, Morayshire and killed in the Crimean war in 1854. He was a Sergeant in the 2nd Batallion Rifle Brigade. Bridget was born in Waterford approx 1820 and they married in Canada in 1843. This is why I thought that she must have stayed in a house that possibly belonged to William's family. Why else would she return to the Moray area. She died at 26 Abbey Street, Elgin in 1895. I don't know if that house belonged to the family either. My Grandfather was born there in 1874. |

Do you know who William's parents were? I can find a baptism for a William Simpson, 24th Sep 1816 in Forres - father Alexander, mother Katherine Crocy |
