That is helpful, it confirms what I had read in the census images on Scotlands people. I think that Lollroad should be Tollroad, and that is where Jane Paton was born on 8 Sep 1831.

Is it reasonable to assume that Catherine and George Brownlee were married?

I would be grateful for any help with finding a marriage certificate for
John Paton b. abt. 1824 who was living in Market Street in the 1851 census. He came originally from Scotland (census info). He married a Margaret Hughes who was born about 1822 probably in Anglesey. My hope is that the marriage certificate will tell me where in Scotland he came from.

Alternatively could one of the subsequent census records have the information.  He died 7th March 1899 at 29 Newry Street.

thanks for any help,

Tim
