Bee Gee to unveil Paisley past

MILLIONS of telly viewers will see disco legend Robin Gibb in a spin tonight as his Paisley ancestory is finally revealed.
Robin – who formed the Bee Gees with his brothers Barry and Maurice before going on to achieve worldwide fame – caused quite a stir back in May when he paid a surprise visit to Paisley to carry out research into his family tree.
The 61-year-old musician delved deep into Renfrewshire Council’s records for evidence of his Paisley links.
Paisley Central Library is home to one of the premier collections of historic Poor Law Records in Scotland and Robin spent hours there, checking documents as he searched for information about his paternal grandfather.
David Weir, heritage officer with Renfrewshire Council, told the Paisley Daily Express: “The Poor Law Records list all of the people who applied to the parish for poor relief, which was an early form of unemployment benefit.
“Robin found his grandfather but you’ll have to watch the programme to learn exactly what he discovered.”
However, bosses at a leading UK family history website claim they have unearthed the Gibb family’s Paisley secret.
Experts at Findmypast.co.uk say the Bee Gees brothers are descendants of paternal great-grandfather Matthew Gibb – a shoemaker from Scotland who went on to enjoy an impressive military career.
He is listed in the Chelsea Pensioners British Army Service Records.
In Matthew Gibb’s record, which is 10 pages long, he is seen as an exemplary solider who served for a staggering 38 years.
Prior to joining the Army, Matthew had attended the Ragged School in Paisley and had previous military experience in the Renfrew Militia – today’s Territorial Army.
Renfrewshire Council’s website contains a wealth of information about how to compile a family tree and trace long-lost ancestors.
It gives details of the historic documents available and how to find them, while heritage staff are also happy to help.
More information can be found by visiting the Libraries page on the Renfrewshire Council website at http://www.renfrewshire.gov.uk/.
l Who Do You Think You Are? is on BBC One at 9pm tonight.
