Hi
I'm searching for further information on William Brittain who I believe to be my 3rd great grandfather. He was Governor of the Abbey (Paisley) Poor House and Lunatic Asylum between c 1852 and 1863. I have contacted the archivist of the Poor House records who had no information and suggested I get in touch with the Paisley Heritage Centre. They too told me they and no information on staff oft He institution. I am currently at a loss ask to where to look now for more information. Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.
