Re: Auld Scots
Back in Paisley in the early 60's,still remember my Mothers words of "I'll tober you boy", and then getting a skelp on the back of the legs. Can't quite what remember what I'd done to receive this penalty, probably being cheeky or back chat!

It was a claim from the Hamilton Council to the Paisley Council, by the looks of it. His status was Married, however slightly penciled in after Married was & S. Consider...

Re: Taylor family Dumbarton/Paisley and Greenock UPDATE!
Well Anniespangles,
What a good story that is. You must be pretty pleased with the outcome after your trip to the Mitchell. I'd be on cloud nine, if I was so fortunate as this in my research!
All the best,
Ray
