Actually it's Ian, not Ray, but I know your intentions were good. :-) I was looking for PATERSONs in the late 1890s in the Aberdeen region. It is possible that you were replying to another query, but as far as my PATERSON line is concerned, York is a bit far away and as far as I know does not figure in this line. Thanks again.
