The death of Mrs. Janet Simpson, relict of the late Ebenezer Simpson, occurred at Ashford Cottage, Park-road, Burwood, on Monday.

Death 11299/1897 BUCHAN MARGARET - UNKNOWN UNKNOWN - CAMDEN * 4 Oct 1897

So Margaret WALCH and William BUCHAN both born abt 1805.

I can't see a death for William.

Janet born abt 1831 - can't find a birth/bap or a marriage for her parents.

So far I can only see this possible - there are three with father Alexander

Don't have enough children to get possible mother's names for William and Margaret.

No marriage for an Andrew WALCH 1780 - 1807.

Thanks,

I think the Birth of William to Alexander Buchan and Janet Brown is correct as first child named after paternal Grandfather. Any issue in Australia with a middle name ?

It's a long time ago since I stopped believing in coincidences in this hobby.Although a first marr. has not been found, i can say the same for my GGG Grandmother c1794 who had been married and widowed ,with no issue before my GG Grandmother was born 1818. It was she who reg. her mothers death, and no name for 1st.husband was given.

You will note William is a Mason ,just like Alexander c1781 in the Census.

Don't know if any other Simpson children born in NSW had middle names not showing as an initial in birth reg. Would be handy if one was Brown/Broun.

CAMDEN.
June 7.-As faithful chroniclers of passing events, it is now our pleasing duty to announce that the long-desired consecration of St John's Church, in this village, took place to-day. ...
But the Font is a permanent work, very artistically executed, and presented to the church by Mr. William Buchan, a talented mason and sculptor from Scotland, residing in this village. It is a handsome present for a poor man, and does his zeal for the cause great credit. The stone was obtained from a quarry at Danbigh, the estate of the Rev. J. Hassall, and the design was furnished by Mr. Lewis, the Colonial Architect.
