Thanks hume - I have now registered and am looking around the site.  Out of interest, it looks like the census data only goes back to 1841, but the info you provided on the Drummonds dates before 1795.  Can I ask where I should look to start tracing this far back?
Apologies if I'm missing the obvious!

Sorry I have picked up this chat thread rather late, but I have also just started researching my family tree.

William Drummond (born 1795 in Comrie) I believe was my great great great grandfather.  I have quite a lot of the family tree pieced together down the line of:

William - John Martin (son of) - James Edwin (son of) - Harold (son of, and my grand father), but it would be great to get details of other branches of the tree, and indeed go back further than William's father and mother, William Drummond/Margaret McEwen if possible.

Hume, I note you appear to have access to census records (?) as you have details of their children.  Can you point me in the direction of where I may be able to search through the records (if available) - I'm very new to this and so could do with some tips!  I'm finding it especially difficult to get details of people residing in Scotland (and, on my mother's side, Ireland), though information on English ancestors seems easier to come by (at least back to 1840 or so).

Thanks and happy new year!
