Hi

My grandmother was Eleanor Mary Williams-Drummond.  I wondered if I could be of any help to anyone doing research.

Hello Frances,

If you see my entry on page 1, you will see what I'm trying to find out.  If you have any details or knowledge, I would welcome hearing from you.

Hi

I wondered if you have seen this website.  I have linked the page from Sir James Hamlyn Williams WILLIAMS-DRUMMOND  1857 –1913. 

http://thepeerage.com/p12232.htm#i122314

You may already know a lot of this info.   Madelaine Violet Maud Agnew is my  Great, Great Aunt. Her sister being Marguerite Violet Maud Agnew.  She married Francis Dudley Williams-Drummond.  Who had 3 children Eleanor Mary Williams-Drummond (my grandmother) who had my Dad – Robert Hugh Elliot 1923-1999.  Not sure if this is the side of the family you want to know about but I have a brother and 2 children.

I remember my Great Uncle Sir William Hugh Dudley Williams-Drummond who had no children – he died in the early/mid 70s.

My family have some old photo albums which feature Edwinsford and people surrounding it.

Frances,

Hope you read my previous post on page 1 - do you know of any illigitimacy in the family regarding the birth of an Elizabeth Davies, from Cwrt y Cadno, Caio and her mother Mary Davies?

Hello!

Seeing these posts regarding   Hamlyn-Williams   and   Drummond   is very interesting.

 I am related to this line through my 7th grandfather John Walker. His son Francis Walker's son was James Walker Esq. of Dalry and Captain Francis Walker.

This line includes the Williams - Drummonds from the Walkers of Hawthornden and Dalry who changed their name and removed Walker.

I would sincerely appreciate any assistance with my research please.

 I am interested in anything anyone would be kind enough to share. Pictures and stories would also be wonderful please?

Kind Regards,

Jim Walker

Have you seen the Annals of Edwinsford, Clovelly and Hawthorden.  They are bits and pieces including letters between individuals, part histories and family trees including taking the Walker Drummonds back to King Robert the Bruce and Hamlyn Williams back to King Edward III.

Hello ef003:

What a great find that information at the Wales library is.

Unfortunately I could find no way to view this information online. Of special interest is the line back to Bruce that you mentioned.

Might you know of a way to view this material online please?

Thank you.

Regards,

Jim Walker
