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 .
