I am looking for my 3x great-grandparents James Simpson & Elizabeth Walls (or Wallace) from Scotland. James's occupation was a Seaman. This is all the information on them. THats all that is mentioned on their daughters death certificate. (see below)
The daughter's name was Elizabeth Simpson, born South Ronaldsay, Orkney 1828, baptised 1837, married in Edinburgh 1856, emigrated to New Zealand where she died in Dunedin in 1908.
