Thomas Hope 1757-1820
According to BDM (Birth, Death, Marriage) or BBB (Baptism, Banns, Burial) records I am descended from the marriage of Thomas Hope (1757-1820) and his wife Sophia Henderson (1751-??), through their son David Hope (1777-1856). All of whom lived in or around Jedburgh, Roxburghshire, Scotland.
As far as I can see but it is NOT confirmed, Thomas was the son of Thomas Hope and his wife Isobel Field. However, we know that Sophia Henderson was the daughter of David Henderson (1725-??) and his wife Jean Scott (1731-??).
We also know that Thomas Hope (both the son and father mentioned above) were Gamekeepers.
Researching further back starts getting a bit murkier but according to other researchers, the family tree goes as follows:
Thomas Hope (1665-??) m Jean Baccone (1665-//)William Hope (1689-??) m Agnes Elliot (1694-??)Thomas Hope (1715-??) m Isobel Field (??-??)Thomas Hope (1757-1820) m Sophia Henderson (1751-??)
It appears that Thomas and Sophia had 5 sons. They being:
Thomas Hope (1776-1786)David Hope (1777-1856) *George Hope (1780-1856)William Hope (1782-1847)Thomas Hope (1787-??)
* See page called "David Hope 1777-1856" for information about his family.

In the beginning...
This blog is in addition to my HOPE Family History page which can be found at
https://sites.google.com/site/stemmata/home
which is an attempt to chronicle the family of Thomas Hope, born 1810 [c] at Ancrum [SCT] & who, together with his wife [Alice Armstrong] & their 9 children emigrated to Australia in 1856, landing at the Port of Melbourne but settling at Hynam [SA] & then in & around Apsley [Vic].
For the sake of preventing "identity theft" of living descendants of Thomas & Alice, the names & other identifying details of persons who are presumed to be still living have not been recorded in this account UNLESS they have specifically provided written permission [to the Editor] for their information to be included.
Update - September 2019 - I have transferred the previous e-Book to a new platform - which can be accessed by clicking on the above link. The "new" book is still very much a work-in-progress but after putting many hours already into the update, it's starting to take a new shape from previous versions or editions.
It can never be a complete story of our family without help from the wider family. I can access general history of the family and places of interest but I don't know YOUR family or YOUR family's story, unless you let me into your family and those stories. Some have and I am very indebted to them, where that has happened. In some cases I have added my own knowledge and experiences with some of my first, second and third cousins but they are few and far between and also, mainly through the eyes of a very young Maggie Hope.
