Hyslops - Penpont

[gerryfarrell]

Hi, I would love to hear from anyone who may have information on Hyslops from Penpont.
We have links going back to -
Andrew Hyslop born 1759 wife Isabella Reid.
His son John born 1790 married Jane (Halbert we think info here would be great)
His son Adam born 1819 marries Jannet Brown (cant find marriage record)
His son Robert born 1857 marries Nicholas Bryden they then move away to Durrisdeer.

We know that John was an Ag Labourer at Holmbank (Info on this would be nice)
Adam was a tea dealer address Honeyhole (Info on this ?)
According to death records most appear to be in Penpont Graveyard so we would love to know lair details and if there are any headstones?

We also are related to Thomas and Richard Hyslop who are named on the war memorial at Penpont but know little of their family history.

Any bit of information even about the addresses would be fantastic, and I thank you in advance for your time.

I doubt if this is of any use, but I know a bit about the Hyslops of Lochrutton (a line of John Hyslop s back to JohnHyslop b? and Christian Crocket b, 1798) of Southpark Farm

I suspect, but havent proved yet that they were related to the Penpont Hyslops. BUt I have stumbled across your Hyslops during my research (John and Adam in particular)

Incidentally I had a friend  who was a penpont Hyslop but have sadly lost touch...

Hi Tracey,

Christian Crocket & Southpark farm aren't names I've came across in my research but thats not to say theyre not linked.

I would be interested in knowing what you have on John & Adam. Especially Adam as he is giving me a hard time. I can find his death record which lists his mother as Jane .......Halbert? I think but I could be reading the maiden name wrong so i would love more proof of this. Also I cant find any marriage record for Adam and Jannet Brown but I'm sure they must have married in Penpont as they lived there beforehand and remained there all their days.

Thanks for replying

As you have mentioned the War Memorial at Penpont you probably already have this entry

There is a photo of the grave stone of Thomas and Richard Hyslop.  It is near the bottom of that thread.

Hi Betty,

Thank you ever so much for the link.
 I hadn't seen the gravestone only the memorial cenotaph which they are named on. It was really lovely to see all these relations on the stone especially as my mother remembers going to durisdeer to spend time with GG Nicholas.

Hi Fiona

I had a quick look in at the Dumfries Library today and found the following grave stone inscription in Penpont.  It as the name Helbert and Brown so looks like your ancestors.

In memory of Jean Helbert spouse to John Hyslop, who died at Newhouse 7 Sep. 1828 aged 50 years.
And of Mary Brownrig, second wife of John Hyslop, who died 12 May 1838 aged 47 years, the above John Hyslop died at Holmbank, 28 Nov. 1858 aged 67 years, Isabella Hyslop daughter of the above died at Penpont, 4 Jan. 1873 aged 59 years, John Hyslop son of Adam Hyslop, who died at Honeyhole, 18 May 1869 aged 16 years, the above Adam Hyslop died at Honeyhole, 16 Nov. 1885 aged 66 years.  Janet Brown wife of the above Adam Hyslop died 28 Dec. 1901 aged 83 years, also Janet Farrow, granddaughter of the above Adam Hyslop who died at Honeyhole, 5 Feb 1931 aged 59 years, Isabella Hyslop died at Honeyhole, 30 Dec. 1935 aged 88 years, daughter of the above Adam Hyslop, also James Hyslop died 19 Dec 1943 aged 95 years.

There is also a photograph of Richard and Thomas in the local paper of May 1917.

If you have not already got these could you give me your email on a PM.  The micro fiche is not so good so I will take a digital.

There are quite a few entries in the newspapers for Hyslop.  If there was anything in particular or address that you could give me to help indicate which might be your ancestors I will extract entries for you.

It is okay if you don't want to give me your email I will send them through the site.

Jane Hyslop, born c1842, daughter of Adam Hyslop and Janet Brown, married my 2x great grandfather John Telfer in 1861 at Durisdeer.

She died 1876 at Kirkbride, Durisdeer.  She was his first wife ( not my line), and had 6 children that I know of.

John Hyslop's brother Edward was my great grandmother Fora Hyslop's grandfather. my mother was born in Penpont.
Honeyhole is an isolated cottage on a farm called Auchenbainzie. It lies between Marr Burn Road and Scaur Water Road, north east of Penpont.
My grandmother used to say that if you stood at the gate of Penpont graveyard and threw a stone it would hit one of my relations! Plenty of Hyslops lived in Penpont area.
