Post by: scoobie2010 on Thursday 23 December 10 20:11 GMT (UK)
Could anybody help me find the following people.
Margaret Drummond married George smith Duncan. They had the following children; George Smith b 1854, Margaret Jane b 1858, William John b 1862, Frederick Grant b 1864, Arthur b 1867, Elizabeth Drummond Duncan b 1867 and Helen Smith Duncan b 1872. I am wanting to fill in gaps in our Drummond family history.

PS also found a Frederick G Drummond earlier - a grocers assistant born Philidelphia - and now can't find him - a boarder in Lanarkshire?

Thankyou Steve for replying with information that is of real help. Frederick Grant Duncan came to NZ to visit with John and Marjory Drummond {who I decend from} they were his grandparents. He contracted TB and died in NZ aged 29. He is buried with other decendants in Riwaka Cemetary NZ. His mother Margaret was daughter to John and Marjory. I have only found this information during the christmas break talking to relatives.

I have just joined Rootschat so can't private message at the moment. I live in Motueka, NZ, and have a copy of the book 'History of the Drummond Family of Dehra Doon, Riwaka' featuring your family. I am not related to the Drummonds, but have a few distant rellies who married Drummonds. Can check if book still in print if you like.
Kind regards
Debbie
