Hi Diana,
I am figuring you have received my Personal message re the Gillingham connection . Alan `s phone number was available in the BT residential phone numbers - he would be pleased to hear from you.
As soon as you are ready, contact me via my email and let me have your postal address also . I am happy to send you as much as you can cope with re your Hislop s and mine.
Our connection stems from your 3x G Grandfather and my 2x G Grandfather, Richard Hislop - that makes us 3rd cousins once removed. He was actually born " Richard Heselhurst " in 1777 but that is another story for down the track.
I have been able to track most, if not all , of our family and back my findings with documentation. There is one will ( that of Isabella Hardie Hislop - sister of your g Grandfather Richard) which ties together the families of that Richard and his sisters , beautifully.Its detail tells me that your G grandfather , Richard, must have stayed in touch with his Scottish family despite living in London.
I look forward to hearing from you, Jean
P.S. I think that once you have submitted 4 posts on this site, you can send personal messages which will not be visible to others. If , for some reason, you don`t have my email, Alan has it and would be happy to give it to you, I`m sure
