Argyllshire / Re: Drysdales on Islay
« on: Saturday 11 May 19 22:29 BST (UK)  »
Well hello, distant cousin!  There's a lot to figure out with our Romeo!  His army service record says he was born in Paisley, but I've also found a Romeo Drysdale born at the same time in London.  Coincidence via a different family, or did someone mis-remember for the service record?  I also saw the 1794 marriage to Margaret, but can't find any surviving children until the 1805 Romeo.  Wonder if they were overseas with the army???  It seems like the more I find, the more questions I have!

Hi PandaBud - That Romeo was my 4X (I think!) Great Grandfather, via his son Robert.  Wish I knew where the Romeo came from, but that is great information about Islay Ferrier.  I never knew that.  I agree that this branch has been easier to research than some others in my tree with all these unusual names - Romeo and Islay Ferrier!
