Subject: [EDB] Patersons (and others) in Edinburgh, 1881
Date: Sun, 3 Jun 2001 15:35:30 +0100


Hello List,

I tried to post this to the list a short while ago, but I'm not sure if it got through - so apologies if you've read it before.

Here are three households containg Patersons, which I've recently extracted from the 1881 census; does anyone else have a connection with these Patersons ?

First; -
28, India Street, Edinburgh St Stephens
Alexr RAMAGE, 55, Teacher of literature, born Edinburgh
Agnes RAMAGE, 60, sister, born Edinburgh
Helen Paterson, 25, unmarried, General servant, born Uphall

It is just possible that this Helen Paterson may be the daughter of the Robert Paterson (my husband's g-g-grandfather) and his wife Elisabeth (formerly GLEN). Robert and Elisabeth had a daughter Helen in Bathgate, W Lothian in 1852. In 1881, Robert and Elisabeth were living in Uphall. Does anyone else know anything about the Helen who was employed by the Ramages ?

Second; -
Kirknewton & E Calder, Edinburgh
Peter Paterson, 24, Foreman quarryman, born Bathgate
Margaret Paterson, wife, 21, born Whitburn, Linlithgowshire
Robert Paterson, son, 3, born Whitburn
Margaret Paterson, daughter, 1, born Kirknewton
George WADDELL, brother-in-law, 41, Stone mason, born Whitburn
Fanny WADDELL, sister-in-law, 34, Stone mason's wife, born Whitburn

I believe that this Peter Paterson was the son of the Robert and Elisabeth Paterson mentioned above. Robert and Elisabeth also had a son named James, who is my husband's great-grandfather.

Third; -
Barton Villa, Hamlet of Northfield, Liberton, Edinburgh
Jessie D R HARROWER, 57, Interest dividends, born Thurso
George C HARROWER, son, 25, Chartered accountant, born Edinburgh
William R HARROWER, son, 23, Insurance clerk, born Edinburgh
Elizabeth G Paterson, servant, 20, General servant, born W Graig, Linlithgowshire

I think that Elizabeth may be another child of Robert and Elisabeth; I think the G probably stood for Glen, but I can't find W Graig in Linlithgowshire - does anyone have any idea where this might be ? The Elisabeth Paterson I was looking for was born Torphichen, W Lothian.


I look forward to hearing from you if you have any connection with the above households.

Cheers,

Rosalind Paterson.
