Re: Paisley History
Hi Jim,
You might be aware that there is a Storie Street in Paisley town centre, presumably with some family connection to Capt. Storie.
Have you tried the Local Studies folk at Paisley Library? They may be able to help or point you in the right direction. You can contact them by email via the 'Contact Us' section at the bottom of this link http://www.renfrewshire.gov.uk/webconte ... llections/
Best wishes
Brian
