Andrew Hyslop born about 1786 Urr

[Jopeg]

I think I have found him!

Died in Kirkpatrick Durham, death witnessed by nephew William Hume.

He was married to Martha Dickson (well done) and also a Mary Ferguson.

Parents John Hyslop and Agnes Dempster.

Yeah! Well done 

Suggest you keep an open mind on name of his father (I would have thought James is also a possibility for father's name). Informants to deaths as we know can make mistakes.

I will bear that in mind with the name.

Although I did see births for Andrew and James with John as father, but no mother’s name given.

Take that back! John it is for father's name. Looking back I came across this death yesterday (by co incidence, on the same page of the register as the death of James H, son of Andrew H and Janet Black):

Also, potentially a sister Ann. There is a death for a 74 yr old Ann Hyslop in 1870, mother's mm Dempster in Kirkconnel. The other surname is Rigg. I can see births at the right time and areas for an Ann Hyslop and a Charles Rigg. A possibility.

Added: In summary, this is what showing for this Ann Hyslop www.ancestry.co.uk/genealogy/records/ann-hyslop-24-10x4hk

This looks like Andrew's second marriage in 1845 www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XTRQ-Z4T  That 1851 census entry you found for an Andrew, with a stepson Walker could have been the right one for Andrew?

[Jopeg]

Yes that looks like a possibility.

Thanks for your help with this, it has been really good to have someone else eliminate all the possibilities.

My pleasure. Happy to help a bit
