Dear Malyon,

Thanks for your suggestion. I don't see any similarities to the William PATON I am looking for other than the birth county and age. What makes you believe this might be the William I'm looking for?

Thanks,
Rebecca

Hi Malyon,

I see your train of thought. He may indeed have been married previously, that might be the reason he didn't marry Florence Gertrude DANIELL until 1921. However I don't think that 1891 Scotland census find is him. The occupation is not a match.

Your birth registration from Florence Gertrude DANIELL is correct. She was born on 9 Aug 1874 at 27 Warren Street, Clerkenwell, Middlesex, England

Thanks for your help.

Regards,
Rebecca

Dear Maddie,

That looks like it might just be a candidate for William's father in the 1891 census - innkeeper is definitely the correct occupation. I wonder whether we can trace when this James PATON died? It would have to be prior to 1921 to match the information on William's marriage certificate.

I will investigate your 3x Scottish census finds further.

I also think the 1891 St Pancras census for William could indeed be him.

Thanks!

Regards,
Rebecca

I've found possible father James PATON in 1901 census as a widower:

1901 England, Wales & Scotland Census
Main Street, Dalrymple, Ayrshire, Scotland

James Paton Head Widower Male 71 1830 Hotel Keeper Kilmarnock, Ayrshire, Scotland
James A Paton Son Single Male 27 1874 Law Clerk Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland
Annie G Paton Daughter Single Female 23 1878 Hotel Manageress Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Scotland
Jeannie Whyte Servant Single Female 19 1882 Gen Servt (Domestic) -

Does anyone know what the E C stands for in the 1881 Scottish census for William PATON aged 19. He was listed as a 'student of E C school (teacher).

Thanks in advance,
Rebecca
