I 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
Thanks for the reply. Here is everything that populated on Ancestry.com after I added my DNA result and while I still had an active subscription. I can't afford it now unfortunately, but it did preserve the people that it found. The workings of this, I am unsure of.
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?

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'.
