Hi Anne, I am hoping that we may be able to help each other with Dugald Drysdale. I have some information that gives me another piece of the puzzle, but then I find something which make me question, is this the same person or not. Hopefully we can work it out.

Anne, a quick look around shows that Dugald Drysdale 1856 - 1938 is on the Familysearch website tree with an ID of LDZF-KM2 - you can pick up some source data from this site  - a part print of the tree is shown below. He's also listed on the freecen website for the 1861 (grandson) & 1871 (general servant) scottish censuses - I've attached 2 pdfs.

I'm sure you already have this info, but if not here it is.

regards

Ron

Hi Anne,

Welcome to the Douglas Archives, I see that you are researching Dugald Drysdale of Australia (b. 1856) - good luck with your research - you may like to visit the Drysdale section of this site  - click on groups at the top of the page and there you will find the various groups. 

Drysdale - a Douglas sept

It's not a very busy forum, but if you have a specific question someone will try to help.

Regards

Ron

 

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?
