Hyslops - Penpont

[gerryfarrell]

Hi There,

Thank you for your information, I'm interested to know which John Hyslop you refer to as I have 3 in my tree - John CC1735 which we know very little about. Then his grandson 1790 - 1858 who married Jane Helbert and then Mary Brownrigg. The 3rd was my grandfather so i know its not him.

We have visited Pentpont and your right there are about 20 Hyslop graves all in the one area each with many interments. I have photographs of most as well as of honeyhole cottage and Auchinbenzie farm. Honeyhole is now 3 converted into 1 cottage and is home to the local gamekeeper.

You didnt mention where you live now but if you  wish a copy of these photos or indeed any information from the gravestones then pop me a PM with your email and I will send them to you.

Thanks again

Fiona

Hi Fiona
I have John Hyslop born c1730 in Durisdeer married to Agnes Ker. Their son Andrew married Isabella Reid. I don't have much more on this John.
Thanks for the offer of photos. We are off to Penpont and Keir tomorrow for a search-again!! I live in Fife.
I am unsure how to PM. This is a new site for me. I have spent a fortune on Scotland's People website.
regards,
Glenda

Hi Glenda,

Your not alone there, I don't want to think about the amount we've spent there.

Glenda,

Just checked my family tree and the John Hyslop you mention is my line he was my GGGGGGGrandfather (thats a mouthful), I didnt have his wifes name so already you have filled in one slot for me thank you. It will be interesting to know who their parents and other siblings were.

I have a Helen Hyslop b. abt. 1824 d. 1864 in Penpont daughter of a Robert Hyslop who married a first cousin 4x removed Robert McNaught. Both Helen and her husband died in Penpont and he was a schoolteacher. Don't have much on the Hyslops and they're not a direct link.
