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
