250840 L/Cpl. George Paisley British Army 14th Battalion Royal Irish Rifles from:Ballymacarrett (d.16th August 1917) George Paisley was my great Uncle. No one ever talked about my Uncle George or that he served in WWI. We found an old undated letter, from a Platoon Officer J. Roddy to my Great Grandfather William Paisley dated August 1917 telling him of his son's fate, it had been transcribed from another document and left in a family Bible I recieved from an aunt, it belonged to William Paisley who died on 21st of March, 1927 and who was interred in Donaghadee Churchyard, Donaghadee, County Down, Ireland. (as written on the front page of Bible). The Bible was originally given to Alexander Paisley as per the written inscription. We know of William Paisley as he was the father of my Grandma Edith (Paisley) Reid. Gramma followed my Grampa Sam Reid to Canada in July of 1928 on the S.S. Doric with my father William George Reid in tow. They settled in Fort Erie, Ont. and had three more children. That's all we have.
