Looking at the Simpson family in the census.

Blackburn Darwen 9
Highfield House
William Simpson 50 Smith

James 14 smith
Ruth 12 cotton corder
William Cooper 25 Engineer

Joshua Watson 8
(Using the familysearch site Batch No M007086)
The following marriages took place at St Mary's Blackburn-
25 Dec 1831 Mary Simpson + Joseph Cooper
23 Apr 1832 Margaret Simpson + Joshua Watson (printer)
3 Jul 1836 Betty Simpson + William Cooper
Who was this WILLIAM COOPER? Is there a link to Joseph? I have not found one yet.
It looks like poor Peggy married in 1832, Joshua her son was born about 1832/3 (not found a christening for him yet) and she died in 1837, her son going to live with his grandparents.
Death
1837 Margaret Watson age 22 Darwen Blackburn D/1/21.
