Hi Lorna,

I suspect if Jeremiah had lived into adulthood and then married, he would be quite easy to find. There's no other record of a Jeremiah Paul in Scotland anywhere. So I am assuming he and his parents (possibly along with Alexander) died in Hamilton or the surrounding area ... just when the records aren't available.

I'm quite familiar with Limekilnburn and the area as my paternal grandmother's family stayed in it for around a century. Luckily they were after registration began so no missing people ... yet.

Hi Hume

I think you're right.  Thanks for the info on Jeremiah.  The only suitably aged  Alexr. I can find is one in Bothwell who is not of the family either so reckon it is a dead end -  .

I also wonder if Margaret called her sons born in 1833 and 1838 after two dead brothers as, as far as I can see, they are the only ones to have Paul as a middle name, ie Alexander Paul and Jeremiah Paul. 

Since you know Limekilnburn so well (I have only been once to the area) I wonder if you know of a possible toll house near Broomleton/Glassford?  That is where Agnes Paul set up house when she married Alexander Torrance.  He was connected to the Crookedstane family.  I think the Pauls may have moved to a tollhouse there.  I hope you don't mind me asking.

Regards

Lorna

Hi Lorna,

Sorry I'm not sure of any toll houses that may have been around that area. My guess would be to check old maps for that area, but I'm not sure if they were marked down or not.
