Just came across some decent free family tree software, not a trial, fully featured & with no 'premium' extras. Has some useful features, charts & reporting options, also mapping if you download the free Legacy GeoDB add-on.…
ContinueI did look at that record but couldn't quite match him to the Thomas Twidale/Twidle I'm looking for so it's onwards and upwards but thank you for your efforts and contribution.
Thank you for the information. Most kind. I am particularly interested in the last part of your message regarding him receiving a pension so I shall look further into that. Kind regards
Dollar Academy is about 45 minutes from my home, so I may arrange a visit.
Better if they were online!
Congratulations on finding the Dollar Magazine.
I think that other editions may well help with Douglas and Burns family research.
I have a different set of ancestors for Alexander Drysdale, who married Christian Donaldson.

I am not sure that they were 'Sir' and 'Lady'.

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?
