Paton Branch

Introduction

The death record for Elizabeth Hoggan age 41 (born ~1827), married to Matthew Hoggan coal miner, died on the 6th of May 1868 at 3 a.m. of hepatitis in Drumclair, Stirlingshire, Scotland; has her parents are listed as Alexander Paton coal miner deceased and Magdaline Paton M.S. Wilson.  The informant was her husband Matthew Hoggan.H01-R

The question is: is there really a person named Magdaline Paton maiden surname Wilson or was the reported name an error?   It looks it could actually be Marion Paton maiden surname Paterson that was actually her mother; I have yet to find a paper trail to confirm this.  If you are a descendant of Alexander Paton and Marion Paterson through one of their children other then Elizabeth and you are a DNA match for my maternal grandfather George then we might be able to prove this.
