Russell,

Can you link your family to the Badsey Drysdales?

Badseys Drysdales ''The Medical Register of 1859 records John Drysdale as living at 44 Rodney Street, Liverpool, having qualified as M.D. in Edinburgh in 1838 '' These folks  this line of Drysdales were Doctors and such . 

 My direct line  were in Hulme , Manchester.

In 1853 John Drysdale , my immigrant ancestor  was in Liverpool long enough to board the Elvira Owen to New Orleans  , then on to Utah,  with his 3 brothers , James , Thomas , and Andrew ...  John crossed the plains with the Moses Daley Freight Train, serving as a teamster, his brothers traveled with the Cryus Wheelock pioneer company. 

 From Utah , John Drysdale went to California in 1854, where he remained during the winter, coming back the next summer when Albert Sydney Johnson's army came to Utah.....Soon after this he located in Cedar Fort, where he had lived until his death.

I have been looking back to see if I can find a connection further back , honestly I am still digging William .

1859-09-03THE Queen and the L,T.NT. day lately, when her Majesty was at Aldershott inspecting the camp, she became fatigued, and expressed a wish for a cup of tea. She accordingly, and without any ceremony, entered the nearest officer's tent, which chanced to be that of Lieutenant Drysdale, son of our respected town- clerk, Mr. Drysdale of Kilrie, and to him the desire of his Queen was made known. As was to be expected, the lieutenant found himself at first a little awkward suited for the reception of so distinguished a visitor, but the ease and homeliness, so to speak, of her Majesty quickly put all feeling of that kind to flight, and he proceeded to cover his humble table with the best cloth he had; and having handed out a soldier's I I tea things," he retired, leaving the august lady with her attendants to enjoy her cup.-Fifeshire Advertiser,

According  to John His mothers name was  Margaret Arnott  born 1815 , listed in pioneers and  prominent men of Utah as Margarate Arnold . A Christian  or Christina Drysdale and James Drysdale shown up in Salt Lake Valley some years later she was way older than James .

Comment: Interesting and confusing!

I have (below) a James Drysdale, b1810 and a Christina Arnot b1814, who married in Dunfermline in 1832.  Their children were baptised in Hulme, same place as John was born.  WHSD

KILLED BY A FALLING HOUSE. The house , No. 21, Britannia street, Hoxton, London, has fallen down, killing one person and injuring three others. The adjoining house having been pulled down for the purpose of rebuilding, the workmen have for days past been briskly engaged in digging of the foundation, A Mrs. Mills and her babe were rescued from out of the window by means of a ladder, and removed to the adjoining house; but Eilen Mills , before she could be got out, had a guaranty of mortar fall on to her head, which injured her to such an extent that, she was at once taken in a cab to St. Bartholomew's Hospital. Two other children, who also received injuries,were taken to the hospital. Unfortunately Frances Drysdale, aged 60, was coming clown stairs when the house fell in, and she was buried beneath the debris . A body of police and Laborers were quickly on the spot, who at once set to work, and after some time the body was recovered quite dead and much mutilated .

If a person is described as being 'in' property, this a means that this person is a tenant to a feudal superior and is not the owner of the property. This can be misleading as sometimes persons 'in' a place have quite vast estates but of course are tenants because they are renting their estate from a feudal superior.  -Ed.
