Profile Information:

Which Douglas line are you researching? Dates and places help making connections.: My GG Grandfather was Thomas Twidle DRYSDALE 1816-1894 who appears to have been 'a bit of a lad'. His middle name really was Twidle but is often mis-transcribed. Twidle was the name of his mother who appears to have been married twice.
Who is your earliest known Douglas ancestor?: I believe it to be Robert DRISDALE (unproven by me)

Diana: Thank you so very much for the wonderful insight this information gives. I need to digest and consider alongside the material I have accumulated. My interest is in the Twidale/Twidle part of the Drysdale name. In understanding TTD's life I'm was hoping I may get a breakthrough and be able to learn more about his grandfather Thomas Twidle. I'm assuming you have the marriage record for Robert and Elizabeth's wedding? If not I can post.
