I would like to know if this was accurate. Selina's mother was Jane Paisley who died in Carlisle in 1905. She fell on an icy street and suffered a skull fracture. Her parents were Joseph Paisley and Ann Douglas. Joseph's father was John Paisley. Thanks for the help. Bonnie Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
