Even though he didn't leave a Will, his assets (if any) would have been passed on to somebody - via whoever was appointed executor by the court.

I have marked this as answered now. Thanks again to everyone who has helped. This has been a great success!

ArgyllGran - yes, that's James PATON's birth - parents William PATON and Elizabeth MACKINLAY. Thanks!

Hello Rebecca, James died intestate (without a Will).

I think EC in 1881 stands for Educational College.

Dear All,

Thanks so much for all this help.

It looks as if AustinQ has found the death for James PATON c1833, i.e. 23 Nov 1901 in Dalrymple. AustinQ - do you know how I can access the will & testment?

ArgylGran - thanks for the birth registrations - I know he was born 8 Feb 1862, so indeed one of those registrations must be his and of course would confim his parents.

Maylon & Maddie - the Annie PATON deaths in 1913/1914 you both found might be for James PATON's daughter rather than his wife. His wife died prior to his own death, i.e. before 23 Nov 1901.

Thanks again to all.

Maddie -

James's death record shows his mms was McKinlay.

Hi Maylon,

Thanks. I'm trying to find the death of James PATON who was born c.1833. The one's you have traced may be family.

Does anyone know what the E C stands for in the 1881 Scottish census for William PATON aged 19. He was listed as a 'student of E C school (teacher).

Thanks in advance,
Rebecca
