Keith was the ninth of twelve children of Alfred Hislop (b1871 in Quindalup WA) and Alice Mary Harwood (b1875 in Quindalup WA). Alfred - a Railways Employee - and Alice married in 1896 in Quindalup WA. The family lived in Quindalup, Bunbury, Brunswick Junction, Fremantle and Perth.
Keith - a Labourer - married Josephine Mary Murphy (b1916 in Boulder WA) in Northam WA in 1935. Keith was a member of the 44th Battalion Militia Band with his brothers, and in June 1940 enlisted in the Australian Army (Private; Service No:WX4078). He was attached to the Australian Defence Canteen Service when he was Discharged in October 1944. Six of Keith's brothers also served in WWI/WWII.
Keith and Josephine lived in Northam after the War, where Keith worked as a Bread Carter before the family relocated to Perth in the late 1940s. Keith was a Tramways Worker when he was accidentally killed in 1953. Josephine later remarried and died in 1993.
