Help from a fresh pair of eyes please, I posted these extracts in May 2000 on the Midlothian site (as was) in the hope that the THOMAS RENTON and WILLIAM RENTON may connect with someone with more RENTON information that may have helped prove my WALLACE tree back a further generation. THOMAS and WILLIAM RENTON were Cautioners to the Marriage of my WILLIAM WALLACE and JANET RENTON in SALTOUN 05/04/1777 (sorry my last impromptu posting stated that William and Janet married in Bolton. Error) The original posting ex OPR :- Salton 13th Dec. 1775 THOMAS RENTON in East Salton & BEATRICE BATHGATE in the parish of Gifford gave up their names for proclamation in order of marriage. Cautioners for the Bridegroom WILLIAM RENTON the Bride JOHN BATHGATE Salton 14th May 1780 WILLIAM RENTON in ye parish of Haddington & HELEN HENDERSON in ye parish of Salton gave up their names for proclamation in order to marriage. Cautioners for the Bridegroom ROBERT AINSLIE the Bride JOHN MERRIL??? (Merrilies?) My WILLIAM and JANET may have used the "old" naming pattern for issue :- HELEN c 16/03/1778 Bolton WILLIAM c 09/04/1780 Bolton THOMAS c 13/03/1782 Bolton WILLIAM c 18/07/1784 Gladsmuir JANET c 27/08/1786 Haddington witness GEORGE & JOHN WALLACE MARGARET c15/03/1789 Haddington MARTHA MATILDA c 23/11/1791 Dirleton I had my WILLIAM WALLACE as the son of DAVID WALLACE and ALLISON REIDPATH ( christened in Yester 07/03/1756 ) which tied in with dates, place, witness George and John but not with the "good old naming pattern". Question Does anyone out there own up to having a JANET RENTON that fits my Janets' profile? Best regards George Wallace
