Yorkshire (West Riding) Lookup Requests / HATTON - St. Peters (Bradford Cathedral) - Dead End. Single Mother ?
« on: Tuesday 29 July 14 15:35 BST (UK)  »
Hello all.  I was hoping for some advice.  I am looking for the parents of my 3xs g-grandfather.

His name is Henry Hatton.  I have his baptism record from West Yorkshire, Parish of Bradford, St Peter (Bradford Cathedral) - born September 16, 1819, baptized on March 26, 1934 (15 years later).  Anyway, on the record it lists Thomas and Mary Hatton as his parents, but Thomas is crossed out and Mary is listed as a spinster.  I am wondering what "the RC experts" think - if "Hatton" was Thomas' surname prior to being crossed out (in which case I don't know who Mary is), or if Mary Hatton is his mother's maiden name (in which case I don't know who his father is).

As I am writing, I am wondering if ordering the birth record is the only way to shed some light?

Any other suggestions?
Thanks.

Lanarkshire / JOHN MLEAN info help please.
« on: Thursday 03 March 11 03:54 GMT (UK)  »
I have hit a wall with this line, but may have come across what I believe may be a sibling of my ggg gf, Alexander McLean. 

1881 Census.  John McLean 48 (general plumber) born Haddington, James 19 (plumber) born Lanark, Mary Ann Sloan (servant), 2 Huntingdon Place, Glasgow, Lanark.

Can someone help me find info on John McLean to see if I can connect the two.  (Alexander's grandson lived at 5 Huntingdon Place, and his in-laws lived at 1 Huntingdon Place and 4 Huntingdon Square - that is why I believe there is a connection with John and James above).

Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

East Lothian (Haddingtonshire) / MacKay/Finlay(son) - 1841 look up please
« on: Monday 21 September 09 02:21 BST (UK)  »
I was hoping someone could check the 1841 census information for me please.
 
I am looking for William MacKay (born around 1768) and/or his wife Susanna Finlay(son) (born around 1770) of "Ormiston, Haddington."  They were married in 1786 Parish of Humbie.  I believe they were farmers.  I am not sure they were alive in 1841, but have run into a dead end looking for death or birth entries. 

As always, any information is appreciated.
Thank you.

Dunbartonshire / PATERSON - Census look up please.
« on: Sunday 06 September 09 21:45 BST (UK)  »
Could someone please take a look for Agnes Pat(t)erson (ms. Wallace) for me please - any and all years.  I may have 1841 (see below), and need anything subsequent.   She was married to James Pat(t)erson but I do not have an occupation for him.

I have tried some death searches on SP but am unable to come up with anything concrete.  I have also tried some marriage searches but again, nothing I can rely upon without ordering multiple searches. 
 
They had one son that I know of in around 1810-1816, Dunbarton, East Kilpatrick / Stirling (info from 1841-1871 census info).  (His children are Walter, James, Jean, Agnes, Margaret, Alex and Mary).

I found a FreeCEN 1841 census that is possibly Agnes at age 50 (don't know if she is widow or not).  Also in this census are Alex 30, William 25, Elizabeth 15 and Mary 10).

Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.
