A Memory of Paisley.

The picture of the High Street, Paisley is part of my family history.

My grandfather, Thomas Paton, worked for his brother, James, who ran a wholesale and mercantile stationers in the High Street. This would have been in the last decades of the 19th century, as it is likely James died around 1898.
I have a few references to the business, and a reference written by James for my grandfather, who moved south and set up his own paper agent's business in or near The Strand (1900-1920s approx.)
It would be fascinating if anyone knows more about the Paton family.

This photograph was taken by my grt grandfather, Matthew Morrison. He died in 1894, so photo is prior to that. On the left of the photo is my grt grandmother, my grandfather and his 2 sisters.
