The Simpson Family of Aberford

An interesting article about the Simpson family of Aberford, from the magazine "Down Your Way" (Yorkshire's Nostalgic Magazine) Issue 75 - Feb/Mar 2004.

The article mentions James Simpson and John Simpson, and their friend Samuel Hicks.

  • Was the Simpson Family of Aberford any relation to the Mr Simpson who owned Halzlewood Castle from 1908-53?

  • Yes. Edward Overend Simpson and his wife Annie lived at Hazlewood Castle. Edward was a grandson of Thomas Simpson (b. Aberford 1786). Thomas's brothers John and James are mentioned in the 'Down Your Way' article.
