Hello All I am new to this list and am hoping that someone will be able to help me with my family history research. My Gt gt gtgt grandfather Alexander Hislop, a tailor in Leith, who married Agnes Buchan on 01/04/1821 in Leith South. Agnes was born I think, in Liberton on 7th August 1794 . If I am right then Agnes's father was McKenzie Buchan and mother Mary Stobo (OPR INDEX Births & Christenings 1553-1854) but I have not managed to confirm this. Is any lister able to advise me as to how to proceed with my search, please? I know Agnes Buchan had a brother Matthew as I have a family photograph album from him which is inscribed to his nephew " To Captain George Hislop to remind him of his uncle Matthew Buchan". George passed his Master's Ticket in Sunderland in1852 after marrying in Tynemouth, North Shields in 1848. Only a few of the photos are named. One is of a group of young soldiers from the Crimea war. Were battalions of the "Pal" type for this area and is it possible to trace any family through military records? The Liberton website has not given any reference to a Buchan or Hislop other than a gravestone inscribed to a Marion Brown / Sneep family 1792, with a father in law James Hislop, burial on May 10th 1799 included at the base. I do not know if there is any family connection here. If anyone is able to assist me in any or all of my queries, I would be most grateful. In anticipation Evelyn MacCallum

Evelyn Below are members of your Buchan family, there are a few more than you mentioned the message. Take note of the spelling of STOBIE/STOBO. You must check all variations of the name. The second batch (some repeats) are the Buchan births in Liberton, must be a connection to yours within this grouping. """I have NO additional data or interest in these surnames.""" A second message (later) will have some Hislop data on it, Merry Christmas Bob Cdn. ------------------------------------------------ BUCHAN, James Christening Gender: Male Christening Date: 28 Feb 1791 Recorded in: Liberton, Midlothian, Scotland Father: Mackenzie BUCHAN Mother: Mary STOBIE Source: FHL Film 1067783 Dates: 1771 - 1820 ---------------------------------------------- BUCHAN, Mckenzie Christening Gender: Male Birth Date: 19 Dec 1792 Christening Date: 11 Jan 1793 Recorded in: Liberton, Midlothian, Scotland Father: Mckenzie BUCHAN Mother: Mary STOBIE Source: FHL Film 1067783 Dates: 1771 - 1820 --------------------------------------------------- BUCHAN, Mckenzie Christening Gender: Male Birth Date: 19 Dec 1792 Christening Date: 11 Jan 1793 Recorded in: Liberton, Midlothian, Scotland Father: Mckenzie BUCHAN Mother: Mary STOBIE Source: FHL Film 1067783 Dates: 1771 - 1820 ------------------------------------------------ BUCHAN, Agnes Christening Gender: Female Birth Date: 11 Jul 1794 Christening Date: 7 Aug 1794 Recorded in: Liberton, Midlothian, Scotland Father: Mckenzie BUCHAN Mother: Mary STOBO Source: FHL Film 1067783 Dates: 1771 - 1820 ------------------------------------------ BUCHAN, Matthew Christening Gender: Male Birth Date: 13 Feb 1796 Christening Date: 1 Apr 1796 Recorded in: Liberton, Midlothian, Scotland Father: Mckenzie BUCHAN Mother: Mary STOBO Source: FHL Film 1067783 Dates: 1771 - 1820 ================================================== BUCHAN, John Christening Gender: Male Christening Date: 1 Aug 1669 Recorded in: Liberton, Midlothian, Scotland Father: John BUCHAN Mother: Jonet ECFURD Source: FHL Film 1067782 Dates: 1624 - 1771 BUCHAN, Robert Christening Gender: Male Christening Date: 26 Mar 1704 Recorded in: Liberton, Midlothian, Scotland Mother: Jane BUCHAN Source: FHL Film 1067782 Dates: 1624 - 1771 BUCHAN, John Christening Gender: Male Birth Date: 11 Aug 1742 Birthplace: , Liberton, Midlothian, Scotland Recorded in: Liberton, Midlothian, Scotland Father: Alexander BUCHAN Mother: Helen SMITH Source: FHL Film 1067782 Dates: 1624 - 1771 BUCHAN, Margaret Christening Gender: Female Birth Date: 4 Jul 1750 Birthplace: , Liberton, Midlothian, Scotland Recorded in: Liberton, Midlothian, Scotland Father: Charles BUCHAN Mother: Margaret LAWSON Source: FHL Film 1067782 Dates: 1624 - 1771 BUCHAN, Mary Christening Gender: Female Birth Date: 16 Feb 1789 Christening Date: 17 Mar 1789 Recorded in: Liberton, Midlothian, Scotland Father: Mackenzie BUCHAN Mother: Mary STOBIE Source: FHL Film 1067783 Dates: 1771 - 1820 BUCHAN, James Christening Gender: Male Christening Date: 28 Feb 1791 Recorded in: Liberton, Midlothian, Scotland Father: Mackenzie BUCHAN Mother: Mary STOBIE Source: FHL Film 1067783 Dates: 1771 - 1820 BUCHAN, Mckenzie Christening Gender: Male Birth Date: 19 Dec 1792 Christening Date: 11 Jan 1793 Recorded in: Liberton, Midlothian, Scotland Father: Mckenzie BUCHAN Mother: Mary STOBIE Source: FHL Film 1067783 Dates: 1771 - 1820 BUCHAN, Agnes Christening Gender: Female Birth Date: 11 Jul 1794 Christening Date: 7 Aug 1794 Recorded in: Liberton, Midlothian, Scotland Father: Mckenzie BUCHAN Mother: Mary STOBO Source: FHL Film 1067783 Dates: 1771 - 1820 BUCHAN, Edward Christening Gender: Male Birth Date: 27 Mar 1796 Christening Date: 3 Apr 1796 Recorded in: Liberton, Midlothian, Scotland Father: Andrew BUCHAN Mother: Catherine HADDO Source: FHL Film 1067783 Dates: 1771 - 1820 BUCHAN, Matthew Christening Gender: Male Birth Date: 13 Feb 1796 Christening Date: 1 Apr 1796 Recorded in: Liberton, Midlothian, Scotland Father: Mckenzie BUCHAN Mother: Mary STOBO Source: FHL Film 1067783 Dates: 1771 - 1820 BUCHAN, Isabella Christening Gender: Female Birth Date: 15 Nov 1799 Christening Date: 16 Dec 1799 Recorded in: Liberton, Midlothian, Scotland Father: Mckenzie BUCHAN Mother: Jean BUCHAN Source: FHL Film 1067783 Dates: 1771 - 1820 BUCHAN, John Christening Gender: Male Birth Date: 26 Jul 1801 Christening Date: 12 Aug 1801 Recorded in: Liberton, Midlothian, Scotland Father: Mckenzie BUCHAN Mother: Jane BUCKHAM Source: FHL Film 1067783 Dates: 1771 - 1820 ================================================================= -----Original Message----- From: K.D, MacCallum [mailto:kemac@tiscali.co.uk] Sent: 14-Dec-04 1:26 PM To: MIDLOTHIAN-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [MLN] BUCHAN and HISLOP FAMILIES Hello All I am new to this list and am hoping that someone will be able to help me with my family history research.

Evelyn, IGI has the following: Matthew Buchan b. 1 Apr 1796, Liberton Agnes Buchan b. 7 Aug 1794 Liberton. In IGI Agnes Marriage to Alexander Hislop also includes McKenzie Buchan as the bride's father. Matthew Buchan m. Christian Renton 24 May 1822 St Cuthbert's MLN McKenzie Buchan m. Mary Stobie (Stobo?) 8 Oct 1788 Edinburgh Parish. This is an LDS patron submission??? Mary Stobie b. 3 Sept 1764, Associate Session Church, Dalkeith MLN d/o Matthew Stobie and Mary Cochrane. Other children - Helen, Agens, James, Matthew. You would know if these names repeat in the children of Hislop/Buchan. The Scots tended to follow a naming pattern but it was not carved in stone. However some of the names are likely to repeat. You would need to visit an LDS family history center to check out the OPRs for these parishes. ----- Original Message ----- From: "K.D, MacCallum" <kemac@tiscali.co.uk> To: <MIDLOTHIAN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, December 14, 2004 3:26 PM Subject: [MLN] BUCHAN and HISLOP FAMILIES > Hello All > > I am new to this list and am hoping that someone will be able to help me with my family history research. > My Gt gt gtgt grandfather Alexander Hislop, a tailor in Leith, who married Agnes Buchan on 01/04/1821 in Leith South. > > Agnes was born I think, in Liberton on 7th August 1794 .
