If you go to this website and scroll down to 14th Sept 1849 you will fine a Wylie-Verner marriage which I assume to be the origin of the connection between the families -- but I have no specific knowledge of the family tree and actual descendants might know better...

Hattie1966 and otisdiamond: very interested to find this discussion belatedly. I am not a genealogist but an archaeologist, and my interest is in quite a famous sculpture once owned by Francis Wylie and now in the British Museum. It's a Gandharan relief evidently acquired by Francis when a junior civil servant in what was the North-West Frontier. It's famous because, although Buddhist, it shows what Europeans would recognize as the myth of the Trojan Horse. The British Museum's information was partly derived from Francis's son, Verner, who would be your uncle? father? I would be very interested to hear if there is still any family memory about the sculpture. Here is the BM's information: http://www.britishmuseum.org/research/collection_online/collection_object_details.aspx?objectId=223566&partId=1&images=true
