1859-09-03THE Queen and the L,T.NT. day lately, when her Majesty was at Aldershott inspecting the camp, she became fatigued, and expressed a wish for a cup of tea. She accordingly, and without any ceremony, entered the nearest officer's tent, which chanced to be that of Lieutenant Drysdale, son of our respected town- clerk, Mr. Drysdale of Kilrie, and to him the desire of his Queen was made known. As was to be expected, the lieutenant found himself at first a little awkward suited for the reception of so distinguished a visitor, but the ease and homeliness, so to speak, of her Majesty quickly put all feeling of that kind to flight, and he proceeded to cover his humble table with the best cloth he had; and having handed out a soldier's I I tea things," he retired, leaving the august lady with her attendants to enjoy her cup.-Fifeshire Advertiser,

Badseys Drysdales ''The Medical Register of 1859 records John Drysdale as living at 44 Rodney Street, Liverpool, having qualified as M.D. in Edinburgh in 1838 '' These folks  this line of Drysdales were Doctors and such . 

 My direct line  were in Hulme , Manchester.

In 1853 John Drysdale , my immigrant ancestor  was in Liverpool long enough to board the Elvira Owen to New Orleans  , then on to Utah,  with his 3 brothers , James , Thomas , and Andrew ...  John crossed the plains with the Moses Daley Freight Train, serving as a teamster, his brothers traveled with the Cryus Wheelock pioneer company. 

 From Utah , John Drysdale went to California in 1854, where he remained during the winter, coming back the next summer when Albert Sydney Johnson's army came to Utah.....Soon after this he located in Cedar Fort, where he had lived until his death.

I have been looking back to see if I can find a connection further back , honestly I am still digging William .

Russell,

Can you link your family to the Badsey Drysdales?

 
 
 

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?
