I am looking for more information on the following Hope ancestor: George Robert Hope (1800s) - (I assume that his father's name was Joseph Arthur Hope)
I have the following information: He came to South Africa somewhere in the second half of the 1800s. His son Joseph Arthur Hope (my grandfather) was born in South Africa in 1883.
I was told that he (George Robert Hope) came from Scotland to South Africa with port of entry either Port Elisabeth, East London or Durban.
This is unfortunately all I have to go on for now.
PLEASE assist.
Thank you and kind regards,
Joe Palmer

I have a connection to the Hope name through my grandfather, his name was Ernest Hope Cooke. he was born in Durham, Eng. the son of Matthew Hope Cooke this is as far as I can get. My grandfather was adopted by an aunt & her husband in Newcastle when his father was going to South Africa as an architect. It is said they had a hotel or something in Newcastle but not sure about that. When my grandfather got older he wanted to change his name back. His aunt said he could as long as the name Hope be kept in the family forever. I thought some one might have a similar story in the family. Thank-you for any help at all even if it is a suggestion.

Our stonewall is with Hugh Hope Allison/Ellison born in 1794 in Rutherford county, TN according to an Allison family bible. However, I believe that at the time, that part of TN was in NC. He is on the 1820 census in Murfreesboro, Rutherford county and has a marriage registration to Nancy Ann Becton as Hugh Ellison in 1820. There is a Joseph Allison in that county at that time but don't know of his connection if there is one. Our Hugh and Nancy used the Hope name for two of their children. We believe that there must be a Hope connection but haven't been able to make it so far. I know that Margaret Hope married an Allison but can't find the correct birth dates for their children that fit with our Hugh Hope. Hugh left Rutherford county around 1835 for Gibson county, TN. According to Church records in Gibson county. He purchased land in MS in 1841 and later died in MS.1842. His will is recorded in Gibson county but does not mention his family. His widow and 5 of his 10 children moved to Cherokee county, TX by 1850. They were living near Nancy Becton's father, Frederick Edwin Becton in 1854 in Texas. Their only surviving son, Edwin Thomas H. Allison b. 1834, is my great grandfather. Thanks so much for any help or clues on this family search. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've been trying to trace the genealogy of my paternal grandfather for some time. But unfortunately we've found very little, only going back a few generations. Anyway, my grandfather's name was Bertie Hope and he was born on January 1, 1920. His parents were George Hope and Ellen Elizabeth Thompson. He emigrated from Northampton, England to Canada some time after the Second World War. He married Wanda Gertrude Dennis and he died in June of 1985 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. So I'm afraid that we don't even know if we do have Scottish ancestry.
Do you know of any reliable sources where we can find more about my grandfather's family? I've used the Ancestry genealogical site but as I said, it's yielded little information.
If you can offer me any assistance at all then it would be a great help. But if you choose to ignore this then that is fine as well.
Also, if you know the name of Polly Elizabeth Ellen St. Ledger (1868-1913, also married to Frederick Thompson) and who her parents might be, that would be equally helpful.

This is in response to the question "Who was George Hope" and also regarding Craven County, SC.
I find no George Hope in the descendants of James Hope which I have. There may be some missing. But Craven County was not on the coast. It encompassed the northern half of the Colony of SC in 1750. Google a map of Craven Co., for 1750 and you shall find this.
There are several William Hopes who were grandsons of James (1705) but none born in 1769.

My brother James Hopes recently visited Scotland and informed me that part of my heritage is from the Hope clan.
I had been told by my grandfather that his family migrated to USA from Northern Wales.
Is there anyway to confirm this linkage?

My last proven ancestor was William Hope (1769 SC-1856 GA). I thought he was grandson of James Hope (1705-1776 SC), but can find no proper son/father. My Y-DNA even supports being in line of James Hope. LDS archives say my proven William (1769) was born Beaufort Co, SC but do not trust LDS and a son of James (1705) could have migrated South.
Just found George Hope with land grant in Craven Co, SC dated 1772. Map research shows Craven area now part of Berkley or Charleston County, SC. If my William came out of Beaufort/Charleston area, only logical he was through George with 1772 land Grant on Santee River.
Who was George Hope of Craven Co, SC and where did his sons go?

Son Amos, son Marshall (after the maiden name of Eliz. mother), dau. Hannah (after Eliz. grandmother). I have not been able to find any info to verify this. Thanks for any help.

William Hope bc1770 SC? m Celia Wright? and Sheba Davis, lived Liberty Co, GA and died c1856. Sons John, William Jr and Henry went to Florida 1832. Strongly suspect William bc1770 was grandson of James Hope (1705-1776) and most likely candidates are Samuel and John.

We have traced our Hopes back as far as early
1800's in Loudoun County, Virginia. I am Donald Alan Hope. My father
was Ronald Alexander Hope, son of Charles Randolph Hope. Charles Randolph's father
was James Hope, son of John Alexander Hope.
We believe John Alexander's father was Christian Hope, but we can't go any
further. We would appreciate any information on how and when these Hopes came over to
America and any other information on their origins.

I am trying to find the parents of my great great grandfather, James Thomas Hope. James Thomas was born in 1793 in Virginia and lived in Front Royal. He was the proprietor of the Hope and Haynie Mill. James Thomas was married to Phoebe White in Frederick Co. in 1825. James Thomas stated that his father was born in Virginia and his mother in Maryland (1870 census). James Thomas had only one son, George Henry Hope, who produced children. An older son died young and, as far as I know, unmarried. He had a number of daughters. Two married a Hutchins and a Little from Georgia and a third married a Moffat, possibly from Maryland - they lived in Maryland later. Any assistance with the ancestry of this family would be appreciated.
