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.
