Helen Paul SLATER died in 1931 in Galashiels, Selkirkshire aged 77. He was working as a gardener in Selkirkshire in a number of the later censuses, usually going under the name Paul. The marriage of Rajahgo (sic) Paul SLATER to Elizabeth DICKSON was registered in Melrose, Roxburghshire in 1880. By the 1891 Census when Paul was a gardener living at 9 Wood Street, Galashiels, they had 3 children: Bessie Hogg SLATER, 9; James SLATER, 7; Mary McKenzie SLATER, 4. (he is transcribed by Ancestry as Reigahgopaul in that census). The image of the marriage and death certificates can be downloaded from Scotlands People at www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk As Peter said in an earlier email, it is a pay site. Rhoda p.s do you know why he was given that wonderful name? Could he have been named after an Indian servant working for the same employer as his father?
