Note on Husband: John Paterson CORSON

The documents I have seen regarding John are confusing because they contain different names:

 

In John's birth certificate, his middle name could be read as Robertson, his parents are clearly Andrew Corson - Shepherd and Mary Corson - M.S. McKeachie.

 

In John and Henrietta's marriage certificate, John's middle name is P, his fathers name is Andrew Corson - Shepherd and mother Mary Corson - M.S. Thomson (deceased).

 

In John's death certificate, his middle name is Paterson, his wife's name is Henrietta Skimming, his father's name is Andrew Corson - Shepherd (deceased) and his mother is Mary Corson - M.S. Towell (deceased). Mary Towell was John's step mother.

 

John's age given in his marriage and death certificate work out correctly to his date of birth.
