DISCLAIMER: This tree has been developed as part of my attempt to put together a picture of the Simpsons of Berwickshire, in order to find out the parents of my 4g-grandparents, David Simpson and Isabel Atchison. My research showed that there were many other families in Berwickshire who were connected through the Simpsons, but – because there are so many Simpsons with the same forenames and approximate birth dates – were not sure which Simpson was theirs. Please treat the information in this tree with caution, because it is not always possible to determine families with complete accuracy without consulting the original parish records and death records for those who died after 1855, etc.I welcome corrections and any information you are willing to share from your research. I am happy to send the detailed version of this tree (with notes, census information, etc), to those who would like to see it.

A few disclaimers: In putting together my database, I used Simpson as the spelling for all Simpsons – please note that there is a variety of spellings, Simson, Sympson, etc. I also used christening dates as birth dates if no specific birth date was available (and the dates appear in Serbian, given my computer program.) The information has been compiled from a variety of sources – census records, parish records available through Scotlands People, IGI, Ancestry world tree, information shared by other researchers, other peoples’ online family trees, etc. Only some of the information has been checked against the parish records, as I cannot afford to check each entry. (There are now more than 5,000 people in the database.) For early births, when only the father’s name was recorded, I have made assumptions about the mother’s name based on marriage records in that parish. I hope that those directly descended from various Simpsons will be interested in checking the parish records and death records for those who died after 1855, and letting me know if there are errors to be corrected or if the information is confirmed.
