You are right Monica

The death record for Williamina Galt Fowlds 1885 confirms her parents as Allan Fowlds and Agnes Allan both deceased informant Robert ? Nephew

Thank you Margp and hanes teulu for confirming the Fowlds and Allan details. Looks like a really interesting family to follow, as do the American lines from what what I can see. And, on top of that, the genealogy of Edgar Allan Poe and a little bit of Robert Burns thrown in with the history!

Theodore Wilson Patterson was born 1850s in Pennsylvania,he married Donce Coates ,his father was Theodore Wilson Patterson from Scotland.There be no connection with Theodore with Arthur on the  61 census but just seems a coincidence

Many thanks for all the input ,it would be very nice if the connection can be proved.I  volenteered to help a lady with a Lancashire query and then she asked me about this.She is coming over to England from the USA in September and is trying to visit places where her ancestors came from.I am afraid I am out of my depth advising her on the Scottish query.

Hi Dotty

Why don't you ask the lady to post on the Scottish boards with the specific questions she has or any advice she needs? Lots of people onhand here, willing and able to help further.

Can see the deaths of one of the children from the marriage here https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/NS94-T46  This shows father TW as born in Tennesse?

Hard to find on the censuses over there so far though.

Added:

I think this might be the family in 1900 (at last!) - https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/M98T-ZCP. People researching the family online think mother Donce died mid1890s? Cora and Theodory show as married only 3 yrs.

Theodory Patterson showed as a machinist. I thougtht Eddie might be the Edward Benson Patterson whose death is linked above. Also, Wilson I thought this might be the Theodore Wilson Patterson 111, being traced online.

This looks to be the same family in 1910 - https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/MG6B-QVL

Theodore's second marriage in 1897 - https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/FWWR-MYN

Death for one of Theodore's youngest child in 1936 - https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/JDRZ-M4T
