Newtownards/BallyBlack Paisleys

[hdw]

It's not the commonest of names so I would suspect the people you mention had common ancestors further back in time. Although the surname is obviously of Scottish origin, I have never come across it in Scotland and I have lived here for almost all of my 69 years. However, I have identified ancestors of mine called Pasley or Paisley in Kelso in the Scottish Borders several hundred years ago.

Carolyn,

I came across your post regarding Ballyblack/Newtownards Paisleys.  I am related to the Paisleys than emigrated to Pittsburgh, PA.  Back in the 1970s when my grandmother died, she had a old picture frame that had an interesting text about some relatives:

ERECTED
BY
JOHN PAISLEY, of Pittsburg, Pa., America,
IN MEMORY of HIS FATHER,
SAMUEL PAISLEY, OF BALLYBLACK,
WHO DEPARTED THIS LIKE 3rd JANUARY, 1819,
AGED 48 YEARS,

Also,
JANE PAISLEY,
HIS WIFE,
WHO DEPARTED THIS LIFE 24th JANUARY, 1824,
AGED 41 YEARS,

Also,
Jane Arnold
Wife of JAMES PAISLEY, Newtownards,
WHO DEPARTED THIS LIFE 13th JANUARY, 1865,
AGED 55 YEARS.

Also,
THE ABOVE-NAMED
JAMES PAISLEY,
WHO DEPARTED THIS LIFE 18th DECEMBER, 1884,
AGED 77 YEARS

I had this for years and recently decided to figure out where Ballyblack and Newtownards were located.  To my surprise, I found references to the same kind of wording about a memorial with the same text:

http://www.newtownards.info/townland-ballyblack.htm

I am interested in understanding where this memorial is located.  I am thinking my inscription in the frame is related to this memorial. 

By the way, I am the great great grandson of the John Paisley that dedicated that memorial.
