PATERSON

Summary of Family Groups


WILLIAM PATERSON reputed father on Ann's death cert. in 1906
and 
ISABELLA KELLAS  unmarried

Children:

  1. Ann Paterson, b.c.1829 Aberdeen illegitimate.
  2. Elizabeth Allardyce, b.c.1833 Banff. In 1851 Elizabeth stated that she was the unmarried sister of Alex and James. In 1871 she stated she was the sister of Ann.
  3. Alex Yeats, b.c.1848 Banff ; Father JAMES YEATS, Mother ANN CHRISTIE
  4. James Yeats, b.c.1848 Banff ; Father JAMES YEATS, Mother ANN CHRISTIE

This little family group is one of the most confusing I have come accross in my research not helped by the two generations of illegitimacy and the fact that Paterson is a very common name in the Banff area. The relationships above all hang around the fact that Elizabeth stated on the 1871 census that she was Ann's sister. The information on Alex and James's parents is only very recent and has to be double checked. It only adds to the mystery. 
WILLIAM MILTON (1) Ann used the name MILTON, her deceased husband's name in 1861 and 1871 but reverted back to using PATERSON in 1881. 
WILLIAM HOSSACK  (2) Ann recorder her son Willoam as HOSSACK in 1861 but reverted back to using PATERSON in 1871.
WILLIAM PATERSON  (3) reputed father on William's marriage cert. in 1882. This is more than likely to be a fabrication on William's part.
