John Simpson (1837-1920), birthplace Ireland, married in Ontario, Canada on 13th July, 1858 at age 20 to Catherine Hanna or Hannah. She was born in Canada and her roots were from Ulster. John may have come from there as well, but no proof. His parents were Alexander and Elizabeth Simpson.
He came to Australia, made his fortune in gold, and then went to Ontario, Canada, where he lived as a gentleman having been a well to do farmer.
I’m not sure if John came to Australia voluntarily. Does anybody have John in their tree, or can find him in Australia? I’ve gone round in circles a bit!
