I am seeking any connections with my mother's family living in the Paisley area.
The surname evolved from Cathell to Cuthill and can be seen in their various BDM certificates.
I can see Cuthill's currently residing in Paisley and my goal is to uncover potential links with them.
John Cathell (1826-56) + Eliz Wilson Lang (1831-82) - buried Woodside Cem. Great GGPs
Children -
Elizabeth (1856 - died in infancy)
James (1861-62)
Janet McPherson (1863-86)
Lilias (Lily) Elizabeth (1866-1915) married Flexi Cumming (Govan)
Sarah Ann (1871-73)
Jane Lang (1850-58)
John Cathell (1859-1925)+Mary Cunningham (1862-1930)- Buried Hawkhead Cem GreatGPs
Children -
Agnes Forbes (1885-1956) married Thomas Hunter (Paisley) - newspaper reporter.
Archibald Forbes (1887 - died infancy)
Elizabeth Wilson (1889-1901) buried Hawkhead Cem with parents.
Mary (1891-?) married John Young ( Paisley)
James (1895-?)
Alexander (1901-?) married Daisy Drysdale ( Kirkcaldy - last known location. )
John Hill Cuthill (1893-1929) married Mary Walker ( Glasgow ) Grandparents
Child -
Mary Diamond Cuthill (1926-72) Buried: Woodside Cem. married Ian Cooper ( Stranraer )
John Cathell (1826-78) was a boatman, living in Cart Lane near the old harbour. Best described as a 'colourful' character ( Several mentions in the court section of the Paisley Gazette. ).
Some of the earlier deaths are buried in the Abbey Burying Ground - this was part of Paisley Abbey or just within the Abbey Parish boundaries?
If anyone can see a connection to their tree or has any additional information, please let me know.
Thanks in advance,
Colin

Dear EV,
Many thanks for the information - much appreciated.
The realisation that their surname 'evolved' only struck me a few months ago. I believed they were from Kirkcaldy and put all my efforts into chasing ghosts over there - trust that town to have a clan of Cuthills!
Thanks again for your time and input.
Regards,
Colin

Hi Colin, I realise this is an old post and I have been in contact with you before via Ancestry where you were kind enough to help me out with some information on the family. I have, in my tree, Janet McPherson Cuthel 1863-86. Her daughter, Lily, was boarded/adopted with my Montgomery relatives in Paisley. John Bonnar and Mary Montgomery have Lily listed as their daughter on 1891 census living at 3 Carriagehill, Paisley and in 1901 at 18 Neilston Road in Paisley. Lily's children are John Bonnar Cathell b 1904, Jessie Kerr Bonnar b1906, Thomas Brady b1911 and Andrew Brady b1913. [My own line is the Gordon, Donnelly line and on the 1911 census members of the Bonnar, Cathell, Brady, Ross, Donnelly and Gordon family are all somewhat related and residing 51 Neilston Road]. Lily died in Paisley in 1933, her last known residence 22 Alice street in Paisley. Being only peripherally connected to my own family, I haven't researched all her children but at least one of the males, John, carried the Cathell surname. I wonder if you have researched the Bonnar or Brady line for other descendants? Good luck with the search. I reside still in Paisley, Renfrewshire, and happy to help with local information if I can.

Greetings LizL and good to hear from you.
I recently found that Jane Shaw Byers married David Halbert Watson in Paisley in 1961.
I also found a son of the same name born 1976 in Paisley. I reckon there will be children between 1961 & 76 but there are tons of Watson births during this period so I have not yet identified them.
Like you, I am in the area based in Uplawmoor. I am still seeking a living Cuthill relative but this too has eluded me.
Hope your festive season went well.
Regards,
Colin
