Janis: THANK YOU!!! You have pulled a couple of PAULINs we did not have and we appreciate your help very much.
Personally, I like the Berwick PAULINs more than the Norham ones, but Margaret PAULIN d/o of James and Mary CURL PAULIN married Robert PORTEOUS in Gordon, Berwickshire 1 May 1841 and he (Robert) was a witness at the marriage of our Mary PAULIN and Andrew TEAGUE in 1843 (see other message).
Some of the family contend this proves the relationship of our Mary to James and Mary CURL PAULIN, others that she could have been a cousin, not a sister to Margaret.
Usually Australian death certs. are wonderful resources, but sadly our Mary's is not one of them - with all kinds of errors. Her grandson the informant, probably did not know much about her. So I go with the Australian born children whose birth certs. state she was born in Northumberland - and because either she or her husband Andrew were the informants on those they probably knew.
Again, sincere thanks for all the information you sent.
