Scottish Radicals 1820
« on: Thursday 11 October 12 21:36 BST (UK) »
Does anyone have one of the 19 or so Scottish Radicals in their family line?

If so which one?

This was fascinating history to discover. I can lay claim to Andrew Dawson. He was transported to Austrlia with 19 nineteen after the death sentence being commuted.

None in my tree, but my family were weavers in Paisley and Glasgow at the time, so I wonder what they might have seen!
