Looking for ancestors of Alexander Cameron that was sentenced in July 1819 at Glasgow, but born, bred and worked in Paisley and shipped out to Australia on Asia I.

A previous topic, lest we cover old ground:
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=618412.0

Does the court documents make it quite clear that the convict Alexander  was 'bred' and worked in Paisley, as well as being born there? Glasgow is close to Paisley and a move from one place to the other was common.

Cheers

Hi,  Yes the court document states that he was born, bred and resided in Paisley.
