Here is what I just found, I thought it might be of interest to you...

1871 census at Hynds House, Crichton, Midlothian

I am not sure why John Henry Wylie is being shown as a son of Mary Jeffrey m.s Thomson?  Did she remarry? Her (first) husband was James Jeffrey.  I am not yet sure when he died....

Anyway - I just thought you might like to know there was another Wylie in the house at this time.

Best wishes
