Talk:Barrhead

This entry seems to have developed a rather strong Catholic bias (do we really need to know the attendance of St John's ?) !!!!

Why not? It is quite an interesting figure!

Why is it that BOTH Barrhead and Linwood claim the birthright of Paul Lambert !!!!

Possibly he was born in the maternity hospital in Paisley??? A lot of people from Barrhead are/were, but that doesn't mean they're "from Paisley". Agreed - he was likely born in Paisley Mat.

That doesn't clear up the Linwood claim though !

I've removed the link from the reference to StLuke's since it didn't link to the school but to an area of London !!!

I've never heard the word Barrheadonian (you just made it up didn't you), Barrheadian or Burrheidian is definately more common, even if you don't like it. --GeorgeShaw 17:54, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm interested in the origin of the name Barrhead. In the Neilston Parish Register in 1737, there's a mention of "Barrs Miln": "‘1737 David a lawfull son procreate between Robert Dunlop and Isobell Stinson in Barrs Miln was Baptised Septemr 4th.’". Does anyone know where this mill was? Could it have any relationship to the name Barrhead? If so, was the mill maybe named for people named Barr? RebeccaGreen (talk) 06:38, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Merger proposal
I propose that Auchenback be merged into Barrhead. The former is an unsourced stub of very little potential, concerning a small area of the town. Any information on it can comfortably be accommodated in the Barrhead article. Jellyman (talk) 13:17, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
 * As there have been no comments, I have gone ahead and performed the merger. Jellyman (talk) 22:09, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
