Mystery of the Grieving Patton Heiress

[Ruskie]

Would the death of ? Beaton off St Helena be registered anywhere?

Karen, just discovered the name of person searching for this family, tried googling her name + john beaton, but no other hits for her, so unable to find another email address.

Sorry Pinetree, didn't see your post there

Just found that link too guys.  Will send off an email and see what happens.

Do either of you have An****** UK at all?  I can't download images at the moment.... frozen up on me.  Can you check for Janet PATON in the American - Scottish Inheritance Wills and Financials for me and see what it says.  She's page 115 I think.

Thanks
Karenlee

I didn't see that one karenlee... but Janet must be a family name for the Patons...there are pages and pages and pages of Wills and probate papers but all the ones I saw in the index were too early...will have to check again.

I am not having any luck at all with Census for this family but seem to find deaths records.  I will post them so we can eliminate them in searches looking for descendants born after deaths.

First is the Thomas son from post number 4.

Name:  Thomas Beaton died:  February 26, 1882 age: 27 years 11 months occ.: farmer born: Ramsey, Ontario informant:  John Beaton, Darling religion:  Presbyterian

Name:  John Edward Beaton  died:  March 5, 1881  age:  5 months and 14 days
born:  Darling  informant:  John Beaton, Darling

son of Thomas???

Karlenlee,

Just checked entry - I don't think it is the same Janet Paton - this one is the widow of Thomas RUSSELL and the entry dates from 1 Sep 1859.  The heir is her son Thomas RUSSELL.

Thanks Pinetree. 

Just wondered as Lumber-Jack mentioned an inheritance, so I thought I'd check that Index.  Guess that rules out one source.

Well, I have sent an email to the BCGS and explained what we are up to here, and requested that they pass along my email address to the Darlene Jones...if she's the same one of course.  Fingers crossed. 

Dollylee... the John Edward BEATON you found is on the IGI as being born Darling Ontario 19 Sept 1881 to Thomas BEATON and Jean Lindsay STEWART.  It seems that there were quite a few BEATON families in Ontario so it might be "fun" trying to sort out who is with whom.

If the information to date is correct, I don't think that there would be many children born to John BEATON and Janet PATON in Scotland before they left for Canada.  They married in 1838 and were in Canada by 1843.  Wonder where they are in 1841 coz I'm having a heck of a time finding them in the UK.

Cheers

From An***try that John Edward is the son of Thomas Beaton and Jean Stewart, so therefore the grandson of John Beaton and Janet Paton.

Information for children of John Beaton and Amelia Thurlow:

An***try confirms:

 Birth of their son John Thomas Beaton as April 3, 1893 born Almonte, Ontario

Marriage of Janet Elizabeth Beaton daughter of John Beaton and Emilia Thurlow age 24 married Wm. L. Moffatt, age 32 son of David Moffatt and Euphemia Summerville

Been out for an hour or so and just gotten home.  I don't have access to any other Canadian records but the 1881 Census on Familysearch.

I would say dolly that the Howard you found is the one that Lumber-Jack mentions in his original post.

Great job with all the burial information by the way 

Trying to get dinner started and look for these guys tooo.....
