NOTE - Found first on the 1861 census, once again William Renton at age 11, was listed making his birth year about 1860. Who was he if Margaret's husband, William, died in 1843? Researcher April Padgett thinks that William Renton was the nephew of Robert William and appears with his grandmother Margaret in the censuses up until 1881, then he marries Margaret Nelson and moves to Northumberland. He appears to be the illegitimate son of John Renton and Isabella Glass. Isabella had other illegitimate children so maybe they ran out of room in the Glass household.
