I have found that one of my ancestors was born at West Buchanan Street, Paisley. Try as I might I just cannot find this street. I can find East Buchanan Street on an old and a current map.
Is there a register of street names anywhere or a list detailing name changes as I've found a couple in other locations where the name has been changed.
Hope someone can help!

Thank you all for your help! I found it on a map once pointed in the right direction, I was too far east obviously. I lived in Maxwellton Street from 1969 until 1972 and it had obviously changed by then.
Oh isn't it great adding another dimension to your family. They moved from Alva to Paisley and it seems the move is mill related but sadly only three years later the father is dead.
Back to trawling and thanks again!
