Member Since: June 2011 Posts: 43 Send Message	Thanks, yes I agree he would have been young if this was him who married Christina Paton. I believe at some stage she married an Alexander Skene (1832-1914), because she and Alexander Skene went on to have lots of children, one of whom was Alexander Skene (1851-1941) my great great grandfather. I wish I could find out if Alexander Anderson was her first marriage perhaps, or maybe Alexander Anderson and Alexander Skene are somehow the same person. I believe ErikaH is correct, Christina (sometimes spelt Christian) was the daughter of James Paton & Anna Foster (sometimes spelt Forrester)

Member Since: June 2011 Posts: 43 Send Message	Hello, I'm trying to find out more about the descendants of James Anderson (1811-1855 I think) and Jean Spence (1811-1872 I think) who lived in Dysart, Fifeshire, Scotland. I am trying to find details of their children and in particular a son called Alexander who was born in 1831. I think I have located the family in the 1841 census, located in "Bogleys", Dysart, living with some members of the Paton family (I believe Alexander Anderson ended up marrying Christina Paton, but I am struggling to trace him after that. I believe James Anderson & Jean Spence had many children: Catherine, David, James, Jean, Euphemia, Margaret and Alexander although I'm not sure because some of the birth dates I have found double up ?? twins. Many thanks in advance for any hints you can find about this family, and in particular Alexander Anderson.
