Dumfriesshire / " They Came from Dumfries"
« on: Sunday 12 November 06 23:09 GMT (UK)  »
     
       Having a frustraying time researching my HISLOP / HYSLOP forbears. I have traced back to this couple , Richard Hislop (a blacksmith in Glasgow from about 1800 onwards ) and his wife Isabella Hardie.
       Her 1855 death cert . states that she was from Falkirk , born circa 1777 but of course  , Richard was deceased before official records were required.
       An aunt told us that the Hislops "came from Dumfries" , so if anyone has a Richard Hyslop born circa  1775in their tree , I would love to hear from you.
        Richard and Isabella`s first son was John, so if the naming pattern was adhered to, Richard`s father in Dumfries could have been John Hyslop - but beware of red herrings!
           Hope to hear from another Hislop researcher, Regards, Thommoje

Lanarkshire / Glasgow and the Valuation Rolls
« on: Sunday 12 November 06 00:28 GMT (UK)  »
What a marvellous site! I was able to locate the houses where my Mother and Father lived with their parents in 1913/ 1914.  The other information on the site gives a brief but informative history of Glasgow as it has evolved down the ages.
         Having read the story, it is not hard to understand why infant mortality was so high and why so many young Glaswegians went to seek a better life in other parts of the globe. Thankfully , much of that has changed but I`m sure that tough life left its imprint on our ancestors, making them stoic and resilient.
         Have a look at     -www.theglasgowstory.co.uk    -
                 Enjoy,  Thommoje

John Morrison married Jean McAuslan (spelling varies) 11 Nov 1806. Does anyone know more about These two? 1841 census suggests John Morrison was a fish curer and merchant in Main St. His son John lived next door and was a cooper.Mary Morrison, my G Grandmother was still at home with her parents. Birth dates and places for the parents  remain a mystery.
