Hi. I am looking for any information on Michael Drummond born 1873 in Co.Sligo. Ireland but I am led to believe went to Scotland before moving to Ashford Kent  U.K. where he married Annie Jessica Broad in 1902.
Thanks. Val

His Army service states that he attested in Glasgow in Dec 1891, he joined the 7th (Queen's Own) Hussars
Age 19. He served in India and returned to Kent in 1898 where he was placed on Army Reserve. He was recalled in 1899 but remained in Kent and was discharged 1903.

The 1901 census shows he was in Barracks in Kent. Married?
Michael Drummond   Private
Relationship   Remount Depot
Marital status   Married
Age30   Birth year 1871
Birth place other as transcribed   IRELAND

I cannot find him in Scotland on the 1891 census but he was clearly there at the end of that year, my guess is that he came to Glasgow after the census and was only there briefly.
