Looking for any info on Herbert Paton. May have been born in Fife. Fathers name was also Herbert Paton. Married Madeline Louisa Waller on June 16, 1912. Not heard from again since the 1930's. Divorced and may have remarried. Children and grandchildren would like to know whatever happened to him. He seems to have vanished.

Hi Pam :)
You have certainly found a lot of info - thank you!
I have Madeline and Herberts marriage license - issued from the parish of Islington in the county of London. He is listed as a dairyman, living at the time of marriage at 123 Hornsey Road. His father Herbert Paton is listed as deceased. He was listed as 30 years of age - hence birth around 1882. We know absolutely nothing more. Rumor is his middle name may be Thomas, but that may be wrong. Childrens name are Herbert, Edwin, Margorie, Elizabeth, Ruth and Madeline.
We interviewed an aunt last week who is 88. She was put in a workhouse - home when she was 4. Last time she saw her father was in the early 1930's around the age of 11. Never saw him again. Cannot find a death, remarriage or divorce. Just have the marriage license to prove that he did exist. No pictures - just that he had a handlebar moustache!
It is certainly frustrating not being able to find out anything about my husbands grandfather. I have done all the genealogy on both sides of the family and have gone back quite far but this man eludes me!
I will follow up the leads you have sent me and I truly appreciate your responses.
Thanks from Ontario
Pat :)

Possible marriage record on SP
1911 PATON HERBERT HARRIS married ROBERTSON JANE at LESLIE /FIFE
-
Hi Sancti
Herbert married Madeline in 1912, last child born in 1921. Children put into home in 1923. So if he remarried it would be after 1923 - don't know for sure if they even divorced.

Kellyp
Is the marriage record I found on SP the correct Herbert?
-
Hi Sancti
No I don't believe so. I am beginning to wonder if he had anything to do with Fife. You would thing you could at least find both Herbert Patons as I have his fathers name on the marriage certificate but in 1912 Herbert Paton is living in the Parish of Islington in the County of London. My husbands mother (who didn't know her father always said he was from Scotland and from Fife. But we can't seem to find anyone who fits.
Thanks for looking and I will keep on checking out your leads.
Pat
