You're very welcome!
I meant that John McCaslin [not Joseph], son of Joseph and Elizabeth Hope couldn't be found with his father and stepmother on any later Census documents.
Elizabeth Hope's mother, Martha [nee Taylor] had 2 sons after she married Daniel Flannigan [of course, his surname causes all sorts of problems because there are so many variation!!] but I cannot find either of them after the 1861 Census -- you would think that if alive, they would have emigrated with their parents =
