Ops! Sorry about the wrong date, thanks Donna for picking it up,also for explaining the three different dates of marriage (banns) I have not downloaded the images only taken the batch numbers from IGI, but at the moment I would like to find out if Thomas( born 1877) lived beyond 1855, so I can get his death cert.
That looks very much like him in 1851. Thanks Gadget.
Frecen has him in 1841 but I can’t find his wife Jean.
looking for this family in 1841 they are all over the place.Census 1841 Auchtenheath Ward Lesmahagow.
Thomas Paton-age 40 Coalminer-not born in this Parish---- FATHER-born 1788.
James Paton age 15 not born in this Parish---SON
George Paton age 10 not born in this Parish----SON
Ages seem a bit out but 1841 often rounded down the age . no sign of Jean(Mother)but they did have sons james and George.
looks like Johns family in1841 census Auchenheath ward Lesmahagow

Thomas age 4
