Margo, Might it actually now be Auchenknight in Penpont parish? Here is the URL via _www.streetmap.co.uk_ (http://www.streetmap.co.uk) : _http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=284500&y=597500&z=3&sv=284500,597500& st=4&mapp=newmap.srf&searchp=newsearch.srf&dn=551_ (http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=284500&y=597500&z=3&sv=284500,597500&st=4&mapp=newmap.srf&search p=newsearch.srf&dn=551) In _www.old-maps.co.uk/_ (http://www.old-maps.co.uk/) (http://www.old-maps) , the farm is listed as Auchenaight, as of 1861 - a wee closer to the spelling you're looking for. Type in Penpont as the GB placename, then go due north a few panes. With Old Maps, the farm names are not indexed to any degree of reliabilty. In Streetmap, most are, but certainly not all. I hope this helps. Yours aye, John Jardine Cincinnati, Ohio USA D&G FHS Member #1918 Alba mo dhuthaich gu deireadh mo la! (Scotland my homeland forever!)

A family of Hyslops were born/baptised 1780-90s at AUCHENAIGHT in Penpont, although it was also recorded as being in Durisdeer. It is marked on SHEET NX 89 at the end of a railway line from the village of Burnhead. One kilometre is rep.by 4cm....I only have copied pieces of the map! Looks like 1:25,000 scale?
