Historic Paisley - Alphabetical List



Featuring the Genealogy of the Founding Families of Paisley In this project I am attempting to trace the genealogy of the founding families of Paisley to their present day descendants. To establish these early inhabitants I used a part the 1861 Census of Elderslie Township. The area bounded by Greenock & Saugeen Townships to the West, Brant Twp. to the South, 15 Sideroad on the East and Con. VII, to the north and includes the unicorporated village of Paisley. Click here to see the Map. Transcribed from the Ontario Archives microfilm date 1954. This project was started in Oct. 2009 and I anticipate it may go on forever.
