Comment by Ronald Drysdale yesterday

Could be a Trisdale, Trusdale or similar - when people couldn't write, they often didn't know how their surname was spelt and it was then left to the recording officer to put down his best guess. 

Best regards

Comment by Russell Lynn Drysdale on Saturday

Ronald, This speaks volumes if you know what you're  looking for.

Making conections

The more information you can give about the people you mention, the more chance there is of someone else connecting with your family.

Dates and places of births, deaths and marriages all help to place families.

Professions also help.

'My great-grandmother mother was a Douglas from Montrose' does not give many clues to follow up! But a bit of flesh on the bones makes further research possible. But if we are told who she married, what his profession was and where the children were baptised, then we can get to work.

Maybe it is time to update the information in your profile?
