I researched his name and found out he was a farmer's son. There was a male and female witness who eventually married each other.
I will check and see if I can find a baptism record.
Thanks

Thanks for clarifying that, Kathryn
His (half?) sister's baptism doesn't give any paternal info.....................

Anne Hamilton is listed as Mary Hamilton's daughter on the 1851 census. On the 1871 census daughter Anne is not listed but Ann aged 5 is listed as granddaughter.
When John William is on the 1881 census he is just listed as 'Boarder' and not Grandson. The address on the 1881 census is the same address as is shown on John William's marriage certificate, so he lived with them for a while. He was married in 1889.

I think you could run across some odd situations, and it might help to see similar examples.

Eliz Anderson maiden surname Scott died 31/7/1875
Her death was rego'ed by her son with the wrong forename.
Maybe rego'ing her death brought on a brain-freeze.
However, this was corrected on the gravestone MI
As an aside, women, at least at that time and place (the Buchan area in N Aberdeenshire). were buried under their maiden surnames.
I didn't know abt Alex - he was 16 in 1841, but isn't with the family on the Rathen census.
I later found a "15" y.o. Alex with, probably, his 14 y.o. bro working as Ag Labs on a Crimond farm 5km away.

Six of Eliz's descendents had been searching for her d.cert for quite a while.
None of us guessed she'ld be rego'ed under the wrong name.
AFHS used to have an on-line data base that was sort of like an index to theit MI booklets, with names grouped by gravestone.
I stumbled across Anderson & Scott on the same Turriff MI, so I asked the others if they had the Turriff MI booklet.
One of the others got Eliz & Alex Smr's d.cert, and took a pic of the gravestone, which I've transcribed above.

The above marr is the 4th in that register.
The previous marr rego covered 60+ years, and seems lost, as do the matching BTs (Bishops Transcripts).
I don't see eother on LDS films, nor at the Lancs Record Office.
