England / Re: Mystery of the Grieving Patton Heiress
« on: Saturday 18 October 14 17:42 BST (UK) »Hi folks, I got up to find more great information on my computer thanks to you all. I too have a bead on a person on GenesReunited who may be able to help and I will try to plug some more of our info in today. Janet, bless her , lived a long time so her death does not eliminate any of the 4 candidate wills....I will wait a little longer before spending money to buy credits to view them. The newspapers may be a good move which I will have to follow up on. I think that John and Janet are buried in the Auld Kirk cemetery in Ramsey Ontario ( along with many other pioneer Scots settlers) and there is a reference book ISBN978-1-894008-39-6 by the Lanark Genealogical Society which has completely catalogued this cemetery which should confirm this when I can get my hands on a copy. I am surprised that there has not been a major piece of genealogical research on the Paton's of Tilicoutry/Alloa as they were such an important industrialist family of the time. I have to go to work now but will be hot on the trail later! Best wishes, Lumber-Jack

I have not read all the threads of this post, but what caught my attention was the mention of the Auld Kirk Cemetery, Since I wrote a book on this very cemetery I can answer almost any question on it. Right now I can tell you there are no Patton/Paton buired in the cemetery. So what is the surname of John and Janet ?
