My HYSLOP/CLINT lines seem to have had large families in their long sojourn in Auchencairn, Kirkcudbrightshire. One, John Hyslop (1788 Cotton Mill -1875 Shuttle Bank, Auchencairn) and his wife Grace Thomson (1802 Kelton - 1882 Shuttle Bank, Auchencairn) had 12 children. I have since learned that three sons, not two, died at sea and I am working on finding out the circumstances of such tragedies. John and Grace Hyslop's daughter Ann (b. April 19, 1837, no d.o.d. available) is buried in Auchencairn Cemetery. She married Thomas Ireland, b. 1830 Balmaghie. Their six children -- William April 12, 1859 Kirkbright Anwoth Grace March 3, 1861 Shuttle Bank, Auchencairn Robert August 12, 1861 born where? (There's something quite wrong here with the year as there's only five months difference between his birth and that of Grace.) John February 1, 1863 born where ? Thomas September 6, 1871 born where ? James December 2, 1873 born where ? One of those six had to have had a daughter Charlotte Ireland, but which one? In turn, she married Captain Herbert Morris Johnstone, MN. Herbert Morris Johnstone is such an English-sounding combination that I wonder if he is English. On Ancestry.com his name is listed under Dumfriesshire and Kirkcudbrighshire Parish and Probate Records. Question: Would anyone have access to any records who could find out among the six children to Ann Hyslop and Thomas Ireland to which one Charlotte Ireland "belonged" so that I can fit her on the tree? Can anyone explain why Grace and Robert Ireland are both born in 1861, only five months apart? A big order, but if I can get answers it will help to unscramble some more entwined branches. Maisie

Hi Maisie, I put your Thomas Ireland and Anne Hyslop in to familysearch as parents and came up with following children; Robert 12/8/1867 John 1/2/1863 Thomas 6/9/1871 James 2/12/1873 Grace 8/3/1861 all baptised Rerrick Kirkcudbrightshire There is also a David born 1888 and Peter born 1880. These were submitted by LDS members. They may have been extracted from birth records as these happened after civil registration. I also found the marriage of Thomas Ireland and Anne Hyslop 10/6/1859 in Rerrick. The LDS listing for this parish runs out in 1875.
