Do you have/or would like the Paulden family in 1851??

Dear Tricia,

Thank you, and oooooooooo yes please. All information appreciated.

It is beginning to look as though the Paulden family took over the Auchterlowine business, because with John Auchterlownie training to be a chemist and in 1861 Henry Paulden being a druggist and spirit merchant there seems to be too much of a coincidence for there not to be a link.

I don't suppose the chemist part of business had anything to do with the oldest recorded chemist shop in the market place which is now a tea rooms, and where I had my meal a couple of weeks ago! It really would be strange if I had found the place without knowing!!!!!!

Thank you once again - I feel as though progress is being made with your help.

Incidentally, on the 1861 census the address for the White Hart is Market Place Knaresborough. I think there is an excellent chance that Hart's Hotel in Market Street today and described as an old coaching Inn is the building you are looking for.

Interesting, isn't it,that the family business went to an in-law when there was a 41 year old unmarried daughter still in Knaresborough. We will never know why.Perhaps she wasn't up to it.

Doesn't seem to be any other male Auchterlownie's around after John's dearh.

Thank you Tricia,

I have now printed off all the information, and will sit down with a nice glass of chilled stuff to put it all together.

Cheers, Patsy

Haven't finished yet

Story is coming together now - was a bit worried about the inlaws pinching the business. This is probably what happened - Hannah died in 1858 so the business would go to her son John.
John then married Lucy Ann and promptly died himself. That leaves her in situ with the business as you thought. Poor Maryann Full circle from your 'guesswork'

So if anyone wants to see why he died (I reckon Lucy poisoned him to get the business) you can send for this cert online from

Did Lucy re-marry?
