I just lost a massive portion of materials for your William Charles Kimpton.
1880 - 1920 US Census in Washington DC show him there b 1843 ENGLAND.His wife Isabella (you say Isabella Elizabeth) b 1848 ENGLAND.Daughter Edith (your say Edith Emma) b 1869 ENGLAND.
From reviewing 1851, 1861, 1871 UK census info, narrowed down William C Kimpton being born in North Wickford parish district Sept 1843.North Wickford census district established in July 1837. District covers towns Benwick, Chatteris, Doddington, Manea, March, Welches Dan, and Wimblington.
Further review of this area looking for parents is supported.
Also looking at 1880 census age of Isabella and birth of Edith, shows marriage ca 1868-69.
They immigrated post 1869.
Curious entry in 1870 census.VA census shows (potentially) single William C in xx city, Fauquier, VA, near to Wash, DC.Did William first come over, leaving wife and daughter to parents, establish himself, then send for family, and finally moving into Wash, DC.
Another child Frank is shown 1900 census b 1879 US.
Hope this information helps.
