Thank you very much Jack. I know that area well, and Paris Place is definitely gone now, but interestingly there is a Gertrude Place close by, and of course Kelburn Street which I think has a connection to one of the Earls of Glasgow. I wonder if there is a connection. I am sure a local historian could put me right.

Hi Johan, This is just a guesstimation on Paris Place, Barrhead. It was in West Arthurlie according to the 1881 LDS census CD. If you go to > http://www.old-maps.co.uk/ < and do a Co-ordinate search with these numbers 249436,658399 Paris Place was near where it says West Arthurlie in the centre of the map. My best guess is in the area where the west end of Kelburn St meets with Lochlibo Rd & Neilston Rd. It certainly wasn't far from West Arthurlie Cottage, and came before this cottage on the enumerator's route for 1881. But possibly ask Barrhead Library? They may know of it's exact location. http://www.eastrenfrewshire.gov.uk/leisure/libraries/your_local_library_page/barrhead_library_page.htm -- Jack ====================== ----- Original Message ----- From: J LOCHRIDGE To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, July 07, 2006 2:20 PM Subject: [Renfrew] Paris Place Barrhead I wonder if anyone knows where Paris Place in Barrhead is/was?

Hi, My g.g.aunt married into the McNab family. This is what info I have. Robert Aird McNAB compositor of Pollockshaws Road, Glasgow.d.o.b. 1874 m Catherine Annie CAMERON 6/5/1914 Hillington Road, Renfrew. His parents were Robert McNAB Building Inspector and Elizabeth AIRD. Shirley. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

Following list members help I have ascertained where a relation is buried. Catherine Ann McNAB (nee CAMERON) died 23 April 1950 and buried in the Bishopton Cemetery. I now wish to know was it common for death/funeral notices to be published in newspapers at that time and if so how would I go about finding a notice? I am trying to find out if they had any children. Many thanks, Shirley Barugh. -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.

Do you have any further information on your McNAB's from the Renfrewshire area as mine all come from there as well.

Hello again Shirley, As she died in 1950, the death will be in Scotland's People. There will be a person who registered the death, likely to be a son or daughter if there is one available. If there was a death notice it would maybe appear in the Glasgow Herald or the Paisley Express. There may also be a local weekly paper, but I can't think what that would be.

Hi there, My great grandfather was rather a mystery man. He was Malcolm MCKELLAR born abt. 1859-61in the Lowlands but raised by MCKELLAR aunts at Cairnbaan, Argyll. He told a story of being a "foundling" baby in the Glasgow/Paisley area, but I think it is more likely that he was the "illegitimate" child of a MCKELLAR who's family had migrated southwards. Have not found a birth yet. According to the 1881 census (see below) he was born in Greenock West Parish. Would like to get a proper birth date/place and parents for him.
