I have been researching the Paul Family, Drumbeg Farm, Killearn and have found that Walter Paul and Peggy,[Presumably Margaret} Watson had a son John born 28th January 1798 in Killearn.  I have managed to trace the Paul Family history from then until 1960 with the death of Robert Paul, but I lost track of John William Paul born to Mary [Smith} Paul 19th Dec 1859 in Killearn. He last appeared on 1881 Census as being with his father and other family at the farm, when he would have been 22, but thereafter I could not find any records of him.  I would welcome any information in this respect.

My maternal grandmother was Mary Paul born 1868 Drumbeg Farm Killearn. I think her grandfather John was born 18/08/1801 and he married Margaret Moir 3/6/1825. Their son John was born 6/1/1828, and later sons Robert and Walter were born 1836 and 1838  I think Margaret probably died when Walter was born, but cannot find a record of this. John Paul Senior then married Elizabeth King 2/8/1840 and they had 6 children between 1843 and 1850.
John Paul Junior married Mary Smith 6/3/1857, and son John William was born 19/12 /1859 and I think Mary must have died then as baby John W was with his Grandmother Elizabeth Smith on 1861 Census. Jis Father then Married Marion Paul 6/4/1862 and then on 11.10.1864 he married Mary Drummond who bore my Grandmother Mary Findlater [nee Paul} in 1868. He was a widower on 1861 Census His marriage record states that both his parents were deceased and on 1871 Census he had the farm of 100 acres and John William aged 11 was living at the farm Drumbeg. I would appreciate any information or old copies of old photos. John Paul Sr. died 1919. John Cameron
