I am trying to find anything about the family of my Grandfather James Hope. He had two ? Sisters Barbara 1878 who married ? Baxter, Agnes 1871 and possibly one brother William 1873, I have the names of Thomas Braid, and Alex Hogg who were brothers inlaw? James and his family ( my father was on of eight) lived in Carrington and on the deaths of their parents were sent to Quarries Homes at Bridge of Weir. My grandmothers name was Christina Wylie
