John Edward Henry Simpson

On his Find A Grave page there appear the details:

Married his cousin Margery on 8 May 1816 at Fivemiletown, Co.Tyrone, Ireland.
Curate at Thornton, Leicestershire, England 1817-1825.
Clergyman at Isham, Northamptonshire, England -(Curate) 1829 - 1836
then at Drummully, Co. Monaghan 'Salient', Ireland 1836 - 1844
then at Aghadrumsee, Co.Fermanagh, Northern Ireland 1844 - 1847.
Rector at Drumsnatt Parish Church, Mullanacross, near Smithborough,Co Monaghan 1847 - 1872
Died in Clones, Co.Monaghan, Ireland.
Buried in St. Tighernach's Churchyard, The Diamond, Clones.
Rev. & Mrs Simpson had 8 children which included one set of twins.

Checking out #4 would be a great help with Brown: who might then have taken over in some fashion the curate role at Isham.

His CCED page has

Curate at Thornton with Bagworth 1817 (Thornton, Leicestershire, not far from Markfield below)
Ordained priest 1818
Curate at Markfield 1818
Curate for the Ishams 1829

From other sources it appears that Simpson may have been back in Ireland for some years from 1825. He had a son Samuel Hoare Simpson (middle name presumably significant), possibly born in Northamptonshire c.1825. Perhaps some problems with the exact dates or places there. NB [1] dated 1827 has him a curate in Drummully. Charles Matthews (talk) 13:18, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Points #6 and #7 are verified (JSTOR 27699497).

From Clogher Clergy and Parishes by James Blennerhassett Leslie we have

Verification of 1844 in #5 [2]
On Samuel Hoare Simpson, born Northamptonshire, education details, entered Trinity College Dublin 1843 at age 18.[3]
John Edward Henry Simpson comments: 1847 at Drumsnatt. Was he the TCD student who entered 1809 aged 18? Licensed curate at Drummully c.1825. Verifies #4. Samuel Hoare Simpson was his son.[4]
