Hi Russell,

Maybe if you provide some additional evidence supporting the 1781 birth date the powers at Find-a-Grave will deign to reconsider (or maybe not!)

I have enclosed 2 files for your info:

1841 scottish census showing Wm Drysdale aged 60 living at Royal Circus Edin.

1781 birth record for Williamm Drysdale at Kirkaldy, Fife.

A link to an article about William Drysdales family at 8 Royal Circus Edinburgh with the following detail: " .....He was the fourth son of Sir William Drysdale (1781-1843) and his mother was Elizabeth Pew, or Lady Drysdale......."

William Douglas,I concur with your findings,

I have as well sent a suggestion to the person managing Sir William Drysdales memorial on find a grave -and your suggestion was noted , but the birth day month and year have been locked by the person who controls it. - In my eyes the book references many other people whereas the stone is a singular representation , made by a craftsman, with pay dependent on end product, and math never hurts... been over a month and no acknowledgement of the request even being recieved.

I would have thought that the gravemarker was a reasonable bit of evidence, but perhaps not

Suggested Edits Declined

 

The following suggested edits you submitted for the William Drysdale (1776–1843) Find a Grave memorial have been declined.

Reported Problem:

Suggestion does not match information I have for this person or memorial.

Thank you Ronald Drysdale for the General Register Link , I probably should have followed up on that, and I didn't.

Martha , I don't have the subscription to access the fullness of the information or possibly lack there of .

An old comment from Russell about Asylum Registers perhaps, but the site below does have quite a bit of free useful information on both Drysdale & Douglas in-patients on their General Register of Lunatics: 

https://www.oldscottish.com/asylum-patients-donovan---duffy.html

The info is in text format with the possibility of purchasing images.

The site also has other records, generally dating from the 1800s

Regards

The Drysdale story as told in a 1989 Australian newsletter: That's  that guys opinion, myself  I maintain a different opinion, basically - a fairytale is a fairytale.

I have no knowledge of the namesake  for Drysdale Street in London . However, Just off Drysdale street , is a Drysdale place . Apparently Drysdale Court is a building - Bertha Drysdale is a wealth of information connected with the Badsey and Wickhamford communities , Her family are the ones the LDS constantly connect my line to her John James Drysdale relative ... William do Medical Doctors raise their children to feed cattle and sheep or produce charcoal ?  Once again LDS failure at dictating the narrative on who is who .

When in London earlier in the week I came across Drysdale Street and Drysdale Court.  So far, I have found no information as to why they are so named, but did turn up a couple of interesting histories:
•  Bertha Drysdale 1861-1943: https://www.badseysociety.uk/people/drysdale/bertha-john-mortimer-r...
• Drysdale and Co of Bon Accord Works, Ferry Road, Yoker, Glasgow: Drysdale and Co of Bon Accord Works, Ferry Road, Yoker, Glasgow
