Hi Dave
Many thanks for responding to my request for information. As I mentioned in my post I don't have a full name, only that he was one of my ancestors so the surname is likely to have been Paton, Shields or possibly Drummond and the dates could be from the 1800s to 1930s and he would have been born in Scotland, most likley in Ayrshire. Sorry to be so vague, that was why I was looking for a list that I might have worked through. There was one other piece of the puzzle, it was also said that he had a rather grand funderal in London. I was just a kid when this was talked about and regrettably didn't take any particular interest at the time.
Any help of pointers will be much appreciated.
Kind regards
Charles
