Huvin' a Wee Bit o' Bother

Now - I am utterly convinced I did at some point find Thomas' death cert, but I'll be blowed if I can find it now.

Can anyone here get me back on the straight and narrow?

I'm after the death cert of Thomas Hislop - he was married (at the age of 19) in 1884 to Sarah Bonnar.

They appear on the 1891 census with their family, after that he disappears.

On Sarahs death cert in 1913 she is stated as the "widow of Thomas Hyslop" so by 1913 he would already be dead.

Where'd he go to?

Hello Miss Poohs,

My credits are locked up over on SP at the moment, otherwise I'd do a lookup for you.

Visit the link at the top of the page to find Scotlandspeople.

You'll be able to reduce your search results, if you include a "District"

That's the thing - I've done the H?slop thing but none of the people coming up are him - I'm baffled

Hi Miss Poo,

I've also got Hislops and have found them back to Ireland. My name changes from Hislop, Heslip, Hyslop then back to Hislop so maybe bive "lip" a try.

Cheers

Stuart

Thanks Stuart - I'll try that, these Hyslops are a slippery lot
