"Loads to tell/ask you but am not familiar with this page.  Shall I write it here or under Send Message at top left of page. BTW are Angela and Amanda the same person? Think I gave Russell lots of my DRYSDALE info circa 2013. BW Diana-in-Canada."

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.

I don't mind how we communicate. Entirely up to you. My interest is the father of Thomas Twidle Drysdale, a Thomas Twidle (with various spellings) married to  Elizabeth Ruth Watkins, this being her first marriage.  If you have information on this Thomas Twidale/Twidle/Twydle/Twedle/Swidle/Towle I'm eager to hear from you again.

Welcome Diana!

 
 
 

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?
