Hi - I'm glad to hear from you. I know Elizabeth and Ellwood (or did he go by Spencer?) had three children, Ellwood Jr., Patricia, and Judith. Which one of these is your parent? I'd like to get dates and children for this line. If you are interested in the Usinger line, I have a lot of genealogy for this family back to the 1700's. I'm happy to share...please email me at grubej@earthlink.net.

I am with the San Diego Genealogical Society, with the Lost Treasures Committee and have two pictures of Saloma's neice and nephew-in-law, Fanny and William Edward Friend of Riverside, California. Would like to these two pictures with a descendant of Saloma's since Fanny and William did not have any children and I cannot locate Fanny (nee Hunter) Friend's relatives we would like to place the photos with someone in the Saloma Paisley line.

Hi Noreen,

I have seen this family before, but it is a different family altogether. Not to say that they are not connected in some way, but they are different families. Our James Paisley married Mary Barnett Gibson in Ireland and the couple had their first four children before coming to Canada about 1842.

Thanks for your interest,

Jack

How Exciting!!!

Have you constructed a family tree? Do you carry the last name of Paisley?
Have you seen the Paisley Letter? This Paisley was from North Carolina.
I have a tree on Ancestory.com. The tree name is "Buck, Paisley, Patton, Gibson, Boyle, Macfarland Tree"

The cencus of 1891 in Canada he states Father birth place, Scotland Mother, Ireland. He continually states Scotch as tribe on various documents.

No this does not muddy anything. James Paisley is my 3rd great grandfather, and any record I have seen indicates he was born in Ireland about 1800. I would be happy to receive any evidence to the contrary. I would also be very happy to share any data I have with you as regards this family.

I am searching for James Paisley. Birth year unknow anywhere from 1800 - .
His wife Mary Gibson dob. 1830? All I have that I assume is accurate are the names. I was told by a cousin that James came from Scotland. Are you the Laughlin tree?

Unknown Paisley birth father to my Grandfather

sbarker001 — 2008-08-18 00:57:21Z

My grandfather, the late Robert Lee Barker (1932-1976) was devastated to learn at a late age that his father was not really his father. My great grandmother never told him (or otherwise the remaining family doesn't recall) the man's first name, just that he was really a Paisley and not a Barker.

This caused some trouble in his life, and in turn it caused trouble in my Dad's life, because he himself didn't learn of this "family secret" until his father, my grandfather had died from leukemia in 1976.

My grandmother has been in a home due to the effects of dementia so there is no one left to ask. Both my great grandparents (grandmother and adopted grandfather) have passed away. No one even recalls what my great grandmother's given name was because she died before my Dad, aunt and uncles were old enough to really know her and my adopted great grandfather remarried much later on in life.

I'm trying to find any information I can on a Paisley male that may have had a wife in North Carolina in the 1930's (most likely Ashe County) and who may or may not have known about his son born there.

It is unclear also at this point whether or not my grandfather was legally adopted or if they just gave him the Barker family name after their marriage.

I've got nothing much to work with at this time, my grandfather died before I was born and my grandmother didn't like talking about it when she was in good health because it was "scandalous." I can't continue searching into my past unless I can figure out who my great grandfather really is.

Sarah

I have recently unearthed a photograph of Rose Emily Moody who was the wife of William James Paisley and mother of Rose, Constance etc, if you are interested, happy to send.

Do you have any photos of William James Paisley ? I could write back to Roy and ask him. Of all my great-grandparents, this is the only missing photo.

Roy provided me with info on the Paisley's going back to Selkirk in the borders - come to think of it I'm sure he mentioned that the source of most of that information was from the Biddescombe's - just dug his letter out - he mentions Peter and Roy (in America ?).

Re: Unknown Girl Paisley married Bernard Mooney in PA

2006-12-03 00:07:02Z

Thanks for the info. Are you sure that it was c. 1882 as she would have been about 7 years old. Could it be 1892? Is anything known as to whether they had any children? Any other info would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Unknown Girl Paisley married Bernard Mooney in PA

2006-12-02 17:23:24Z

According to the records of Geni Vogel, Paisley Family Society Genealogist, it was Mary Jane Paisley b. 31 January 1874 in PA. Father was William Joseph Paisley. She m. Bernard Mooney ca 1882. He was a laborer in a mine according to the 1880 census.

Unknown Girl Paisley married Bernard Mooney in PA

2006-12-01 22:48:55Z

I'm looking for some information on a unknown girl of the Paisley family who married Bernard Mooney. The Paisley family lived in Hazleton, Luzerne Co. PA and I belived that Bernard Mooney also lived in or around the same area. They would have been born around 1873. The only link I have is according to the 1900 census a sister-in-law, Frances Paisley, was living with Bernard Mooney. The girls' father would have been Wm. Joseph Paisley.

Clarifying my earlier post, which had insufficient information, I believe Dr. Paisley was born around 1917; Elizabether was born about 1919. They lived in New Jersey, around Atco, I think.

Re: William James Paisley - Gone missing 1920

colin_coombs — 2008-06-20 23:33:26Z

Hello

We are both the descendant's of William. My grandmother was Constance Irene Paisley, Rose's sister, and daughter of William. I'd like to find out what happened also. (Great-Uncle) Roy Paisley provided me with some family background, but William's disappearance is a mystery. On Ellisislandrecords.com there is information found on a William (J) Paisley sailing in and out of the US until 1923, of the right age, but I've no corroborating evidence to suggest this is the same person.

I do remember Rose - as a youngster I always remember how alike Nan (Constance) and Rose were.

William James Paisley - Gone missing 1920

romawi1 — 2007-01-17 21:35:55Z

My great grandfather William James Paisley born 1880 in Freemantle, Hampshire Uk walked out of his house in 1921 supposedly to join a ship in lIverpool he was meant to be working on, and never was heard of again. He left my grandmother Rose Ethel Biddiscombe and 3 siblings and his wife Rose Emily Paisley without any clue to where he had gone. Does anyone have any info that might shed light on this mystery/. Thank you

Re: Rose Ethel Paisley

romawi1 — 2007-01-17 21:21:15Z

Hi, I know you posted this 6 months ago but hopefully you are still interested in info about Rose Paisley. She is my husbands grandmother. She was born Rose Ethel M Paisley in Southampton in 1907 and had 3 siblings Constance (1911)Gladys and Roy. Sadly only Roy is still alive and lives in Southampton still. Me and hubby and family now live in New Zealand, but still see my husbands family a lot, as they travel out here all the time. Rose married Edward George Biddiscombe and had 2 boys. Roy 1930 who now lives in America and Peter my father in law. Peter had 2 boys the oldest of which is my husband, we have 3 children, the oldest of which is Rose after her ggrandmother who she met many times whilst a toddler. Could I ask your connection to Rose and family please.

Re: William James Paisley - Gone missing 1920

SarahBiddiscombe66 — 2008-06-21 03:31:01Z

Colin,
Thanks for the message, I too found the shipping records and those to Bermuda too and concluded that it must be the same William James Paisley that we are after tracing. No other William J Paisleys were born in the same year or had anything to do with ships. Would love to know what happened after 1923, so definately more research needed. I don't get to spend much time on family history as I have 3 school age kids to look after and run around after, but love it, when I get a chance.
My daughter who is now 10 is called Rose after her ggrandmother who she got to meet quite a few times up until her death a few years ago.
I have done a bit of research into the Paisleys, and if ever you would like to share or find out anything more, would love to help. We live in New Zealand now, so personal research a little tricky, but most can be done online these days.
Thanks again for getting in touch
Kind regards
Sarah Biddiscombe

Re: Robert Paisley

emvogel2 — 2007-01-04 18:27:05Z

Robert Paisley b. 1758, Antrim Co. Ireland. Son of unknown Paisley. Family supposedly of Scot descent. Scots were sent over to Ireland in a plantation, "to settle-down the Irish." The Scots remained Scots, didn't mix with Irish. They were errorousnly called Scots-Irish, but never were Irish. Robert emigrated to USA, with two brothers, Hugh & John. It was reported, and documented in Penn. Archives, that Robert, Hugh & John all fought in the American Revolutionary War. John settled in Philadelphia, Penn. Hugh settled in Ohio. (I have records on these brothers.) Hugh's War Record found in 5th Series, Penn. Archives; Vol. 4 & 5 list John & Robert, with no further info. Robert died, Pa., c1850, past 92 years old. Occupation: farmer. Married c1795; Ann/Amanda, five known children: Ann, Ellen, Andrew,John, & Robert John. I have around 18 pages on this family, descendants of Robert. I could copy and send you if you desire; please send your snail mail address. You could send your snail mail address by e-mail if you don't want to list in this Rootsweb. Would be glad to correspond further by email.

Re: Robert Paisley - Info/Obit from 1888

emvogel2 — 2007-01-17 03:29:31Z

Several people have sent me this information.
There was a William Joseph Paisley, b. 10 July 1827, England, naturalized in USA. Son of unknown Paisley. He married Conyingham, Luzerne Co. Pa.: 1857: Jane Goodfellow. William died 15 Apr 1900.The family went to Hudson (Wilkes-Barre/Scranton area) Pa. Left the area when their house burned-down. They moved to West Hazleton/Harwood Pa. area to work in the coal mining industry as 'bosses.' None of this Paisley family ever worked underground as miners. 1870 census: p. 10, East Ward, Hazleton Borough, Luzerne Co. Pa.: Wm. listed as coal miner; along with wife, Jane, b. Eng.; son ROBERT, 11, b. Eng.; son Samuel, 9, b. Eng.; son Wm., 7, b. Eng.; son JOhn 4, b. Pa.; son Thomas 2, b. Pa.; son Joseph 7 mo., born Oct. 1869, Pa. Other of my info states that Robert was b. 3 Jan 1859, and the family had come to USA from Yorkshire, England. So, this places your ROBERT in his family. William Joseph had 10 children.

Dear Subscribers,

As the Australian representative of the Paisley Family Society, I have just been advised by the Clan Chief, the Much Hon D W Paisley of Westerlea that the Paisley Family Society will be attending this enormous gathering of the clans in Edinburgh in June 2009. This event is being sponsored by the Scottish Government and the Council of Scottish Chiefs. At this stage, the Society has booked a tent space in the Clan Gathering area, and will be parading.

For more details on the event, the website is www.thegathering2009.com.

I havent seen anything posted about this, so I thought I would put this on the mailing list.

Robert Paisley - Info/Obit from 1888

mariap621 — 2006-12-17 00:03:48Z

I'm looking for either info or an obit for Robert Paisley who was involved in a stabbing in a saloon on 12 Apr 1888. He was stabbed by a Jacob Brehm and there was a newpaper article about the stabbing. Robert Paisley may have died a few weeks later. He may have been in his early/mid 20's at the time. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

mariap621 — 2007-01-13 15:17:52Z

I'm looking for info on 2 brothers who moved from Hazleton, Luzerne Co. PA to Detroit, MI. Joseph (born 1890) moved to Detroit sometime around 1918. Emelton (born 1900) moved there around 1920, as he appears in the census there. It's believed that they both stayed in Michigan, married there and raised their families there. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

This incident was reported in one of the Hazleton, Luzerne Co. PA newspapers as well as probably being found in court records as there was a trial. I'm trying to determine whether this Robert Paisley is one from my tree born 1859 in England and his parents were William and Jane Paisley. Any info would be appreciated.
