The Paxton Family

[littlefacey]

Hello

I was wondering if anyone can help me fill in these missing gaps on my family tree? Im creating a family tree book for my grandparents and want it to be filled with as much information as possible but i've hit a part of the family that i'm completely stuck on  so i was wondering if anyone can help or point me in the right direction?

All of the people i am inquiring about are all children of William Paxton b.1815 and Marion Baillie b.1819

Can anyone help me finding out any info on this relative??!

I cant seem to find marriage or death certificates for them on ScotlandsPeople and nothing on FamilySerach.org and Ancestry..

Any help would be AMAZING!

Found on the SP index

5 deaths for a James Paxton between 1871 -1956 -  b 1856 +- 1yr

3 marriages for an Isabella Paxton between 1881-1891

6 marriages for a Mary Paxton between 1871-1881 - 2 in East Lothian

2 Marriages for an Elizabeth Paxton between 1878-1891 - both in East Lothian

Have you already viewed and eliminated those entries?

The mothers maiden names do not match on the searches that come up on ScotlandsPeople and i have crossed referenced any deaths with cemetery records and these do not match either. xx

Hi,
I'm sure you have noticed this on Freecen:

in 1841 in Yester there is one Paxton family headed by a Robert Paxton....wife Mary
in 1851 this same family is living in Whittinghame - wife is named as Mary BAILLIE.

in 1851 in Yester there is one Paxton family headed by a William Paxton....wife Mary.

From this thread looks like no marriage records to be found for William:

Any chance George the oldest was born to a Marion Bailie but the other children were to a Mary second name unknown?

EDIT - I can see from another thread MonicaL noted a correction on the census that stated Mary (wife to William) was also known as Marion Baillie.
