Hi, Mary - I will be across at the Scottish Borders Archives next week so will look up info. for you and get back to you a.s.a.p. Susan. -----Original Message----- From: border-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:border-bounces@rootsweb.com]On Behalf Of Mary Sent: 06 September 2006 11:05 To: BORDER-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [BORDER] William Allan and Elizabeth Fairington, Paxton Dear listers, I wonder if anyone could help me find a marriage for this couple about 1832/3 or earlier? I am descended from a William Allan and Mary Paxton. Mary died in the early 1830s and on the 1841 census for Paxton there is a William Allan, shoemaker, aged 63 and an Elizabeth 44 with children Adam 8 and Agnes 6 who were the children of William Allan and Elizabeth Fairington.At the moment it is supposition but it is certainly possible that this William was previously Mary Paxton's husband. I had not put 2x2 together when I was at the record office in Selkirk, and am now kicking myself. If anyone can clarify or disprove my theory I'd be grateful.

Dear Susan, That would be great. I didn't see them in 1851 unfortunately as that would have given me William's birthplace too. Eliz and children must still be around somewhere. I'll be away next week but should be picking up emails whilst away. Thanks for your help. Hope they show up.

Hi, Mary, I have looked up info. for you on the Index to pre-1855 OldParish Records for Berwickshire and also the Census Returns for Hutton butfound the results a bit confusing: * I found the William Allan & Mary Paxton marriage in 1798 atChirnside and also the following children born to them:Moses christened 26 Nov. 1803 at HuttonMary christened 17 May 1814 at Hutton * I could not find a record of the marriage of William Allan andElizabeth Fairington. I found no reference to Paxton at all, though Paxtonis in Hutton parish. The family were at Paddy Mill Cottage, Hutton in 1841. * I found the christening entries for their children:Adam - 17 May 1833Agnes - 27 June 1835If the tradtional Scottish naming pattern is followed then the eldest sonwould be named after the paternal grandfather and eldest daughter after thematernal grandmother, but I could find no entry for a birth/christening forWilliam & Elizabeth, born c.1778 and c.1797, according to the 1841 censusentry. * I looked up the 1851 census for Hutton but there were no entries forWilliam & Elizabeth aged 73 and 54 However I did find their two children: Adam was a pauper, Ag. Lab aged 17 a lodger in Hutton villageAgnes was a servant, aged 15 at the Union Bridge Toll, Hutton with thefamily of the tollkeeper * It started getting confusing because there was another William &Elizabeth Allan. He was also a shoemaker in Hutton, but born Chirnside andhis wife was an Elizabeth Patterson. They had 7 children in the 1851 censusincluding a Moses, who I traced in the OPR index. There were only threeMoses Allan's in the whole of Berwickshire listed, so somehow I feel theremust be a connection when your William Allan also had a Moses with MaryPaxton. Your "Moses" was not in Hutton in 1851. There were plenty ofAllans, shoemakers of Hutton in the census. If you want any printouts from the above recrods, do let me know and I willsend my address. The centre charges 40p per printout + postage - large A4envelope. Hope this helps, even if it falls short of what you really wanted. I enjoyedlooking it up.

Dear Susan, Thank you for looking. I suspect a second marriage so may have to look through collections sometime. The other William was son of the first William and Mary. Seems maybe both died. Did you have a note of who Adam was living with? Best wishes and many thanks for your trouble, Mary PS I think all the other Allans are mine as long as they were shoemakers!
