I have tried searching everywhere for more information; including on Scotland's People and so on. The gentleman that is causing the problem is: Frederick Kennedy Hatton. I believe he was born in Scotland and then moved to London prior to the census' starting. From what I have gathered he was born around 1812 (give or take a few years) and died in London in 1869. I have ordered his will, but this tells me nothing new. The only thing that may help me is his middle name (can I presume this is his mothers maiden name?), it only appears once in all of the documents I have - his marriage to Sarah Bird in 1836 (London). Because my 'Scottish Fred' died before the census' started to become more informative, I only have the birth country of Scotland to go on. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I wish I could whittle it down to a county or town (so that it was worth going to Scotland to do some research) just don't know what to search for now. Thanks Sarah Details I have: Marriage 1836 Census: 1841-1861 Residence: 1856 and 1860 Will & Probate: 1869 Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
