The other thing occurring to me is that discussion has been centred on Paisley and Paisley Abbey (the church). Abbey (the parish) also covered Johnstone, Elderslie, Inkerman, Hurlet, Nitshill , Thorn, Quarrelton and all the area of Barrhead right up to where the Levern water runs. (i.e. Carlibar Road in Barrhead was in Abbey parish)
