By early 1892 the Reverend Mr. Lloyd had been forced to resign his charge of Cherry Valley but continued as Rector of Georgetown . He felt great regret in having to do so as he felt that Cherry Valley was a favourable field for the work of the Church in many respects. His yearly report to the Diocesan Church Society on the existing position of Georgetown was also relatively bleak in its outlook for the future: During the past four years since I assumed charge of Georgetown , the parish already small has lost by death, removal and other causes (though mainly the first) no less than 16 subscribing members of the congregation; hence our finances have been continually growing less. The condition of the Church in the Eastern portion of the Island calls for the serious consideration of the Diocesan Church Society, since unless something be done to revive long abandoned work and begin new work the good old Church of our forefathers will soon be represented therein by appalling few members. The work begun by Archdeacon Jones in Souris should not be allowed to drop; especially because there are many of its residents prepared to welcome and value the services of the Church of England and in time to erect a Church. The Archdeacon saw much to encourage him in that district during his visitation. Could not a stipend of say $600.00 per annum be provided for a Clergyman who would consent to assume charge of the Church's work in Georgetown and Souris who should reside in Georgetown . The field is open and work should be begun without further delay.124 Problems at the Cathedral: Accommodating the Rector. Mild frustration appeared at St. Peter 's for the first time since Father Simpson arrived as Priest Incumbent of the Cathedral. In June of 1891 he married Miss Alice DesBrisay , third daughter of the late Theophilus DesBrisay . At that time he inquired into some new arrangement concerning living conditions for his new wife as the old Clergy House was overcrowded and aging. At the April congregational Meeting the Girls' Sewing Society announced that they proposed to donate $50.00 which they had on account towards setting up a Fund with an aim to building a House for the Priest Incumbent of St. Peter 's. By the following Easter the Rectory Fund was reported to consist of $405.00 in a local Savings Bank. Meanwhile, Father Simpson seems to have finally reconciled himself to the realization that the Cathedral congregation was not about to grow by leaps and bounds no matter how great the effort exerted by a few individuals. Consequently, he continued to maintain and concentrate on the high priority which he gave to the education and teaching of those individuals who freely associated themselves 124.
