Hi there,
This may sound a bit odd to start with, but bear with me...
Do you know the names of William Paton and Mary Young's respective parents? Given the naming convention that first son named after paternal grandfather, second after maternal grandfather and third after the father - if 2 of these names were William, it could have been that there were indeed 2 sons called William. It is not very common, but it is recorded to have happened on occasion. I guess the trick now is to find them on the 1881 census, as they would both still be children at that time and expected to still be at home.
Let me know what you find out as you have got me curious now! :)
Cheers,
Clare

No sign of William of 1869. Maybe he died in England, where they were at the time of Isabella's birth.

Thank you for all your efforts.
I have found the answer to my problem
William the first born died whilst the family resided in Willington.Tyneside and I am awaiting a copy of Isabella's Birth cert.
Thank you once again
