Mungo Hislop (1832 – 1891)

Mungo Hislop was born on 4th May 1832 in Tarbolton, Ayrshire, Scotland. His parents were James Hislop and Elizabeth Archibald (James was the son of John Hislop, who was the Parochial Schoolmaster at Tarbolton, and Agnes Hamilton). Mungo married Jessie Ferguson, daughter of George Fergusson and Margaret Mills McGiffen, in Barony, Lanarkshire, on 6th October 1854. They sailed to New Zealand on the Henrietta with their infant son, James. They sailed from Glasgow on 30th May 1860 and arrived at Dunedin at the end of September after a voyage of 115 days. Mungo was a building contractor. It is believed that in 1882 he sailed to Scotland when he received news that his mother was gravely ill. His name is on her death certificate. Mungo died in Dunedin in 1891. In his will he bequeathed a photograph of himself and a crayon portrait of his wife, Jessie, to his son James.
