Hi.  Edwin Frost is also my GGG Grandfather and the details I have are about the same as yours.  He was a Leather Draper/Grocer and Tea Merchant (at least I know where my tea addiction comes from).  He died in Epsom in 1866.  His children were : Edwin 1846, Frederick George 1849, Harry 1850, Thomas 1851, Walter 1854, Charles 1856, Elizabeth 1858 and Herbert 1860.    Thank you for his parents details - I did not have that.
Frederick was my GG Grandfather - he was a Leather Dresser.

Thanks Gadget, I did see the family tree for John and Ellen (Halliday) Hume.  I was trying to go beyond John Humes father, Robert and /or find some family members of the Halliday side as well as the Hyslop one .
Many thanks for your help thus far.

John and Ellen Hume  (Halliday)were also parents of Lilly May Hume - my Great Granddmother.  I have it that Robert and Helen (Hyslop) Hume were Johns parents.  Can you verify?

Regards



 

I am looking for information about the Hume family from scotland.
I know of Andrew Hume 1st marriage to Grace Law and second marriange to Alice Mary. He was born in Kurkcudbright and later moved to upstate NY.
His parents were John & Ellen Hume.

Our family ties in with Helen (Nellie) Hume born 1883 who married Thomas Pearson in 1909. She was raised by her grandmother Murray (?) and went to work at the Glenross house as a maid when she was 12.
Helen was first cousin to John Law Hume (Violinest on Titanic). I'm not sure which side it was on though. John L. Hume was Andrews son.

My mom and I are visiting Scotland in August and I'd love to know more history of our family when we get there!
Thanks for any help.
