The PATONS of Rutherglen

[Patonspage]

This is my first post on this site and am looking to see who else might be researching the PATON family when in Rutherglen.
My first is George who came over from Ireland and married Cathrine (Catheren) DUFFY on 14 March 1848.
My Great Great Grandfather John was born in 1840 at 43 king Street, Rutherglen and married Bridget McCABE ON 18 July 1859.

Any links with further information? Especially on the Irish Ancestors.

Hi & welcome to Rootschat

There is a Surnames Interest Board which you can check to see if anybody else is researching the same family etc

Scroll to the bottom of this page and the link is under "TOOLS"

Good luck - hope you find something to help your research

My Great Great Grandfather John was born in 1840 at 43 king Street, Rutherglen and married Bridget McCABE ON 18 July 1859.

Was he John Rae Paton - parents John Paton & Janet Rae?

I wonder why my first question on this platform has been moved to another
   site without my knowledge or approval?
   I only want this on the Rutherglen site as I am already familiar with the other
   Lanarkshire sites as I come from Hamilton originally.

   I would appreciate a response?

I've been contributing to RootsChat for over sixteen years, mostly to the Lanarkshire Forum and I never knew there was a separate page for Rutherglen.

Funny you should say that, Lodger - I've never come across a Rutherglen forum or page on RootsChat either in the last 18½ years.

Dosen't Rutherglen come under the umbrella of Glasgow ala Cambuslang it seems to on the Scotlands People search engine.

Rootschat boards are split into counties -not into the individual areas within each county which would be totally impractical.  As Rutherglen is in Lanarkshire - that is the appropriate board.

I remember once being taken to task by someone who objected to me telling someone from furrin airts that Rutherglen was in Glasgow.

It's right next door to Glasgow and without referring to a map (a proper map with parish boundaries, that is) I can't tell where Glasgow stops and Rutherglen begins, because the built-up area is contiguous.
