Thanks, Meg, William Clint, b. 1792, Kelton (and that is ALL I have on him, except for an educated guess that his father may have been a James Clint from Troqueer (b?) m. to Elizabeth, ?,?. His grandfather is perhaps Thomas Clint, b. 1731, d. 1796, Carlingwark. No wife listed. William Clint's wife, Sarah Hyslop, b. 1795, is from Auchencairn, Kirkcudbrightshire. Both she and William Clint died in Auchencairn. William and Sarah had nine children, eight of them born in Auchencairn, and their first, Janet, b 1824 approx., was born in Castle Douglas. Sarah Hyslop's father, William Hyslop, b. 1752, was from Penpoint Dumfriesshire, and her mother Sarah Thomson, b. 1756, from Kelton, Kirkcudbrightshire. William Hyslop's parents are most likely James Hyslop, b.1723, Kirkconnell, Dumfriesshire, and Agnes Milligan, b. 1723, Dumfries, d. 1800, Port Mary, Wigtownshire. In turn, James Hyslop's parents appear to be James Hyslop (?,?) married 1790 Elizabeth McNaught, b ?, Colvend, Kirkcudbrightshire. Some of the information I have is confirmed, but other info is iffy, hanging by a thread! Back to William Clint and Sarah Hyslop. Auchencairn is in the parish of Rerrick and at the possible time of their marriage there was no C of S or Free C of S church in Auchencairn, only a Baptist church, as I have been led to believe. As their firstborn, Janet, was born in Castle Douglas, this is why I wondered if the marriage (whether at home or not) would be in Kelton Parish. Yes, I would assume that Sarah Hyslop's parents were living in Auchencairn, where she was born. Both the help at NRH and NAS seemingly cannot find this book with the proclamation of banns for William Clint and Sarah Hyslop. Unfortunately I cannot remember any of the details, except for remembering that the record was handwritten (of course for that period!) and that I was so excited about having the actual handwritten record in my hand for me to scribble down some notes. Maybe I need to "hang it up!" if the Kelton records are so poor.
