Mystery of the Grieving Patton Heiress

[Gadget]

Lumber-Jack has given the full list, to his best knowledge,  of the children of John and Janet and I have added the ones that John had with his first wife, Flora Paton.

I have given the only William Beaton that I can find on the 1841? - can anyone else find another one. Searching can be done for free on Freecen.

It might help if we all look for the children.

This is a combined  search.

Thanks Linda and the story keeps coming with a response from Darlene  from which I have excerpted  so that we can all be kept up to speed:

"On the 1841 census of Scotland, Abbey Paisley, John Beaton's 1st child
William Pollock Beaton is living with the Paton family close to where
John and Janet Beaton were living. "

I can't find anything either Gadget....not that that says much lol

Perhaps if Darlene reads the thread she can direct us....or L-J could get in touch with her and ask her??

The William and Marrion that I found are living in the same area as John and Janet - I'll go look for Patons and use some units and look at the census image. Problem is that the 1841 doesn't give much info 

Did he get to Canada?

What about the baby boy that died on the ship, could he have been named after Janet's father.  I don't rememeber if his name was found out

I think Lumber-Jack said that it was John b. 1843, Karen 

or did I dream it

Think I'm starting to hallucinate, Susan. Will there be questions at the end 

Lovely drawings, aren't they 

The only drawings that I've got of my ancestors are the charcoal ones I did from old photos many years ago

Doing a great job as usual Gadget............... it takes a Scotland expert like you to know all the places to dig. 

Been following but not contributing ---- you lot are doing so well I thought I'd just leave you to it.

My last thought before retiring 

There might be something in the Stewarton MIs. If John Paton left £196 in 1829, I'm sure a tombstone would have been erected.

Maybe Lumber-Jack could put a request on the Ayrshire board asking if anyone has access to them and could do a look up for him - death January 1829.
