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. Best wishes, Mary
Mary, The IGI on www.familysearch.org lists the marriage of a William ALLAN and a Mary PAXTON in Chirnside, Berwick - 04 December 1798. Although this is quite a bit earlier than 1832, could this be your couple? Further search for births/baptisms to parents with those same names show three possibilities: Mary Allan, christened 1814 in Hutton, Berwick Elizabeth Allan, christened 1810 in Hutton Helen Jean Allan, christened 1807 in Hutton Kathy Nemaric -----Original Message----- From: border-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:border-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Mary Sent: Wednesday, September 06, 2006 6:05 AM 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?

Dear Kathy, Yes that is the original couple but it is the possible second marriage I'm interested in and can't find on the igi. I think though that there may be details at Selkirk. Thanks for responding though. mary ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kathy Nemaric" <knemaric1@cfl.rr.com> To: <border@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, September 06, 2006 1:00 PM Subject: Re: [BORDER] William Allan and Elizabeth Fairington, Paxton > Mary, > > The IGI on www.familysearch.org lists the marriage of a William ALLAN and > a > Mary PAXTON in Chirnside, Berwick - 04 December 1798.
