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

Then the pre-1855 MIs for Kinross show this in Cleish Churchyard:

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

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 😊.

:) 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.

PeteRae...The Robert Drysdale, Christian Drysdale and Janet I dont think are related to you as they are my relatives. I havent found any relation to Crook of Devon there. If you would like I can give you more info on them.

Hi Kathy, Sorry for very late reply....yes I would agree with you. I can't match any dates up with any of mine. Thank you.
Pete
