Liz, I do not have any connection to this family but am very interested in the Kilbarchan area. I have HASTIE and HOUSTON relatives who left Kilbarchan/Linwood in the late 1830's to 1840's and they seem to have evaded the 1841 Census. So I am interested in knowing how I might get "a page of the OPR for 1818 for Kilbarchan" Thank you, Susan On 6-May-06, at 3:47 PM, Liz Graydon wrote: > I have a photocopy of a page (89) of the OPR for 1818 for > Kilbarchan.

I can't say definitively because I did not get it myself, it was passed on to me. I believe it came from the Paisley Library/Museum - they have a geat number of films and are very helpful so I am told.
