Renfrewshire / Re: william carlile/catherine knox, paisley

I guess the information about the shop was from the same source, then.        I have a full family tree, back to William and Catherine, as well as a rubbing from the stone in Houston, if it is no longer accessible, and further info including wills etc from work one of my mother's cousins commissioned. If you want copies, get in touch

Hmm, sorry, should have corrected the spelling there.
Also, have just checked the bit about the spirit merchants being given away, which is a family story, but in Ann Sim Carlile's will, there was a shop in Thread Street and in Old Smithills so it must have been on the death of Thomas's son, Thomas, that his wife Agnes Henderson Hunter, gave the shop/s away.

Hi all,
This is my family too. I have been trying for nearly 30 years to trace Catherine and William past the early 1820's in Paisley, to no avail.
William of Houston's memorial stone (1856 I think) has been moved from its place at Houston and Killelan Church, but makes no mention of any family and he is listed in the 'Paisley Carliles, written in 1905 or so, as unmarried.
At one time we had Ann Sim's diary and the story foes that when the thoas who owned the spirit merchant's shop in Oaisley died, she gave it away as she had seven sons......
The youngest of those sons is/was my grandfather.
Interestingly, I have just traced some 'rogue' Paisley Carliles (listed as Carlisles there, btw) to Northern Ireland at about 1830-40. I wonder if William could have come from silk manufacturers there? Anyone know how to access trade Directories in N ireland?

Thomas, widower of Janet Todd, drowning in a ditch on a farm in Renfrewshire, aged 52, in 1882
Both addresses are near Glasgow, west Scotland.
