Another Batton / Paton connection

Wonderful news. I received an email from Elizabeth Walsh who leaves near Melbourne, Australia.
Elizabeth read a post I had made some time ago on the LHFS website asking for anyone who knew George Paton/Janet Fyfe.

It turns out that Elizabeth is the great grand-daughter of George Paton and Janet Fyfe.

Missing from my family history search was the youngest daughter of George and Janet - Elizabeth Paton was born in 1905 in Kirkhill, Cambuslang. Elizabeth died in 1985.

Photo is Janet Fyfe with Elizabeth. Taken around 1912.

Elizabeth Paton (died 1985) married James Russell (died 1993) and they had 2 children :
George Paton Russell
Mary Danks Russell (died 1997)

Elizabeth and James moved to Australia in 1959 - previously living at 10 Cadoc Street, Cambuslang. Photo was taken in 1953 at the time of the Queen's Coronation.

Mary married John Luck Edmond in April 1961. (John died 1998) and they had 3 children :

Elizabeth born 1953, Lynne born March 1958 and John born October 1961 (died 2004).
Elizabeth married David Walsh and they have 2 children Jenni and Simon.
