*COMPLETED* MI Look Up Request - Abbey Paisley
« on: Thursday 02 April 09 05:15 UTC (UK) »

Hello:

I found this reference when I was in the Paisley Library 14 months ago:

"Paisley Abbey Churchyard S2:425
Thos. Angel & Steven Gifford & their wives & chn."

Thomas ANGEL married Mary CLARK on 8 May 1818  Paisley Middle and I have 5 children for them:

Thomas
Sarah Nicol  - married John HOUSTON
Daniel
the other 2 died in Australia.

Stephen GIFFORD married Margaret CLARK on 2 Apr 1821 Paisley Low and I have 5 children for them:

Isabella
Mary
Sera ?
Margaret
Daniel

Please see what you can find.

Thanks.

Fred

Hi Fred

Your Thomas & Steven are buried in lair 425 in Paisley Abbey Churchyard. I wish I;d seen this sooner because I was in Paisley at the weekend visiting my parents and could have got you a pic of the stone if it's still there.

Best Wishes

Hello Ann, 

Thanks for that info. Oh, what a shame. I was in Paisley 14 months ago but only realised a week ago the significance of that note.

Do you know what the 'S2:' means before the Lair number?  Section 2 ? South 2?

Do you have or know someone who has access to the book that lists the inscriptions from the Abbey?

Regards,

Fred
