Facts and Events
In the 1841 census, George & Agnes are living at 4 Polwarth Street, Galston with 6 of their family. During the 1881 census, George, now a widower was living at Fulton Cottage, Lugton with some of his family. There are four schools non-parochial attended by a maximum of 316 scholars. In three of them Latin is taught, besides more ordinary departments. The late Charles Blair, Esq., left the whole of his property for the establishment of a free school in Galston: to be brought into operation so soon as the property should realize £200 per annum. Such being now the annual rental of the property, the trustees erected a structure at once massive and elegant. The dwelling of the teacher is in the lower flat, the school-room above. The salary of the teacher is, according to the will, £40 per annum; but the trustees are enabled, without any violation of either the letter or spirit of the will, to make it £60 per annum. http://www.ntsayrshire.org.uk/Gazatteer/Galston.php Paterson George 09/07/1884 Teacher, Galston, latterly residing at Fulton Cottage, Lugton, Ayrshire, d. 13/03/1884 at 2 Church Street, Maryhill, Glasgow, testate Will Ayr Sheriff Court Wills SC6/46/16 VIEW (£5.00) (3 pages) 2 Paterson George 12/07/1884 Teacher, Galston, latterly residing at Fulton Cottage, Lugton, Ayrshire, d. 13/03/1884 at 2 Church Street, Maryhill, Glasgow, testate Ayr Sheriff Court Inventories |
