I have checked the 1841 census for Joseph and find him living in Paisley Low parish with his brother and 2 other adults. My gt gt grandfather William Lawson was living in Paisley Middle parish with his parents and other siblings. I guess someone would need to look at all the Lawsons in the Paisley area to determine if/how they were related. Jan Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
