Hi Kerri, My relatives were from Paisley to. Felix Mulholland's death certificate lists his death on 23 June 1904 at the Poorhouse Paisley. Janet Gemmell m/s Russell death certificate lists her death on 21 April 1865 at the Poorhouse Paisley. I would guess they must have applied to be admitted.... Where are the Paisley archives kept? Does anybody do lookups there? Anyone out there know?
