I note in the IGI there is this birth.
If this is your Peter Drysdale

Name   Peter Drysdale
Birth:   21 Jan 1861, FOSSOWAY AND TULLIEBOLE, KINROSS, SCOTLAND
Father:   Peter Drysdale
Mother:   Margaret Young

Then the pre-1855 MIs for Kinross show this in Cleish Churchyard:
48 (white marble) Peter Drysdale 5.2.1902, 90, wife Margaret Young at Gairney Bridge 1.4.1904, 87, children James and Agnes

Hi Pete, they are my maternal g g grandparents. They're daughter Jane was my g grandmother. Is there any chance you have photos or more information on them? I'm trying to find a South East Asian connection that might be from this side.

Thanks
Jess

[PeteRae]

Hi Jess, Would that be Jeannie? born 1890 and my granny Maggie's wee sister? I've got a tree on Myheritage.  Are you on that? It's 'the Rae family tree' . I don't have a date of death for her but have photo of your gg grandparents Peter and Janet. Also have details of other siblings etc but will have to fire up the computer for that...haha. Pete.

Hey Pete, my Aunty has her birth certificate; will upload a picture of it. I'm not with my heritage, but will check it out thanks 😊.

[PeteRae]

  yes, that's her Jess....I had jane/Jeannie down as being born around 1890 so thank you for the exact date...excellent. If you want to pm me with your email address I can send you a couple of photos and some more info on family? There's also a guy in Canada who has lots more info on the Stobie side who has helped me a lot....I might have his email, not sure tho'

Pete.
