Hello Lyn, Have you checked the I.G.I ? http://www.familysearch.org./Search/searchigi.asp There is also a HOPE List HOPE-L@rootsweb.com I have HOPE in my family tree from Annan in Dumfriesshire, although I think they were originally from Bolton Le Moors in Lancashire. This is my line: John POOL m Susanna HOPE in Annan 1821. If you think there is any connection, let me know. Good Luck!
