Lookup - Paisley monumental inscriptions

Hello

I am researching Wark's from the Paisley area. I would be really grateful if anyone who has access to Paisley's monumental inscriptions could look this surname up for me.

Many Thanks

Hi

Although I live in the area I'm not in a position to do any look-ups just now but will take a note since I have some Paisley Warks mysel.
they are William Wark married to Jane Divet, Childre Euphemia b circa 1805 and Jane b circa 1813.
Euphemia married James Johnston around 1825.
Don't think they would have any headstones though so we haven't looked yet.

If you happen to be interested in Isabella Wark, wife of George Robertson, mentioned by Sheila I am a descendant and know quite a bit about these Warks.

Hi Westender,and welcome,nice to see you finally arriving at TS.

I know my late father used to talk about Warks not quite sure if they were millworkers like him.

Hi Westender

Glad you have joined us on TalkingScot.

You made a lot of Canadians very happy with all the MI information you gave me on paisley.org.uk They had to start new pages in their family trees
