Webmaster's notes:

I believe this John is the son of Peter + Mary Chapman [P1]. His death was registered in Govan, Lanark by his son John, but the mother's name was given Margaret Simpson. I have found a Christian Simpson christened 19 August 1797 in Belhelvie. Her parents were William + Margaret Duncan. All this needs to be confirmed by proper research.
Cait McPhee has now confirmed the details outlined above. She wrote:

"J64, according to his death certificate (1866 in Govan) was the son of Peter Mutch (P1) and [unnamed] Chapman as you say on your website, and the death certificate says he was married to Margaret Simpson, and was a "shipbuilder's gatekeeper". However, there's then a death certificate for Christian Simpson in 1870 in Tradeston in Glasgow, widow of John Mutch, shipbuilder's gatekeeper.

So it looks like John J64 marries Christian/Margaret Simpson in 1824, they move to Glasgow, and Christian outlives this John. Their son, John (b. 1824) witnesses her death certificate."
