    In London, however, Major Semple appeared in June 1807 at Worship Street public office, charged with defrauding two females, but was acquitted on a technicality. According to Family Search, on the 13 September 1813 Charles Hardie Semple Lisle was born in St Marylebone in London, the child of James George Semple Lisle and Anna Alton. It is of course not impossible that John Semple born in 1808, and James Semple, born in 1811 (ie. Jan 1810), to James Semple and Ann Houston in London also belong in the family.
