Hello,
Once again I am on the trail of those elusive Simpson's that scattered across the Caithness/Orkney regions.
I pulled a death certificate for a Margaret Simpson who was the daughter of Donald Alexander (mason) + Margaret Bain. She died in 1918 on the 8th of June in Keiss Village, Keiss. She is the Widow of John Simpson (Fisherman-now there's a surprise! ;-) Her son in law Alexander Budge signed the death cerificate.
I checked the IGI and could find no Margaret Alexander + John Simpson marriage, nor could I find an Alexander Budge being married to a Simpson.

My thoughts are that John Simpson most likely did not originate from Keiss but most likely from Canisbay as I have found others from that area in Keiss. I checked but could find no death notice of John in Keiss with the GRO.

I need help to try and connect these people with there family-does anyone have any cemetary listings for Keiss, or any info that they may have come across on this family?
Thanks for your help,
As Always grateful
Jackie

Thanks so much for that info, I did find out that John had been married previously and so had Margaret.
John to Elizabeth Rosie from South Ronaldsay
Margaret to Mathew Waters
John had a son named James to Elizabeth
Margaret had a son name Mathew to Mathew
and together they had Margaret.
I thought for sure that John was from Canisbay and not the Wick area.
Thanks so much for that additional information it has really proved helpful.
