Paterson / Gordon.....

Post by **Tracey** » Fri Aug 19, 2005 10:21 pm

I am looking for any information on Francis James Paterson who married Jessie Mary Gorden (or Gordon ?) in March 1900 in Ordiquhil.
They had at least one son Walter Grant Paterson b 1909 in Boyndie

Sorry about the lack of information but this is really all i know about them so far....................( and i only found out this 2 hours ago !)

Any help appreciated

Hi Jean

Well since 5 oclock yesterday i have found that ...............

Francis James Paterson..........his parents were Francis Paterson and Margaret Barclay who married 12th November 1867 in Cruden. and for them i have also found 1871/81 census so am now looking for deaths ! And having found their marriage i know that Francis Paterson parents were James Paterson and Francis Simpson, Margarets parents were William Barclay and Margaret Mathew who married according to familysearch on either 19th or 20th March 1842 in Peterhead. i have the 1881 census for these as well.

Jessie Mary Gordon........her parents were John Gordon and Jessie Barrow. They married 1871 in Dyke Moray according to S/P although I havent viewed the certificate but the marriage reference number is 133 / 00 0002. I havent found any of the census for these yet.
So if anyone can expand on this please feel free !!

Hi Tracey,

A parent search on the online IGI gives the following children to Francis Paterson and Margaret Barclay.

MAGGIE PATERSON OR BARCLAY - Birth: 27 JUN 1864 Cruden, Aberdeen
FRANCIS JAMES PATERSON - Birth: 31 MAY 1868 Cruden, Aberdeen
JOHN PATERSON - Birth: 01 JUN 1870 Peterhead, Aberdeen
ALEXANDER PATERSON - Birth: 31 MAR 1872 Cruden, Aberdeen
ELSIE JANE PATERSON - Birth: 03 APR 1874 Peterhead, Aberdeen

Maggie should be listed under both surnames on the SP index. She will have the non-politically corect remark "illegitimate" written under her name on the certificate.

A parent search gives the following children to John Gordon and Jessie Barron (married 15-Jul-1871 Dyke, Moray).

HELEN HORN GORDON - Birth: 12 SEP 1871 Elgin, Moray
ELSPET GORDON - Birth: 03 SEP 1873 Kirkmichael, Banff

Note that the extraction of Scottish birth and marriage certiicates into the IGI stopped at 1875, so there may well be more children to either couple.

All the best,

Andrew Paterson

Fantastic, Andrew !!

Your right i did find Margaret Paterson as Margaret Barclay on the 1871 census ( more of which info i have put on census forum under 1901 !)
Im finding out a bit more as we mail on the Chillas site but i dont find that easy at all, its lay out is a bit of a mess !

But thanks for all that "Auntie " will be pleased ! and so am i !
