Hi All,

Now that I'm retired and in lockdown, I'm picking up the threads of research I started 15-20 years ago. I let it lapse for too long (work got in the way!). I recall contacting someone with a common ancestry at the time - might have been you, Janice?

From my research I got back to William Drummond and Hannah Rayner in Hull, who was my GGG Grandfather. Their son RRJ Drummond's daughter Edith was my mother's Grandmother. I did a lot of digging at libraries and records offices in Yorkshire, even visiting old addresses including tracking up to Robin Hoods Bay and Ravenscar.

However, with William I could only ever find him coming from "Scotland" - no more information than that other than his age and the fact that he was bankrupted in 1822 or '23.  The Comrie Drummonds always appeared to be the most likely candidates for getting further back, but so far I've been unable to validate the link.

Has anyone got any corroborating evidence of this link? We were hoping to do a 'grand tour' of Yorkshire and Scotland this summer to do some more research, but that looks increasingly unlikely in the present circumstances.

Thanks
Bob

hi Janice,so your g/g/grandad Richard Drummond would have been a brother t o my g/g/grandad Thomas Drummond who is in the photo I put on this thread,I will have to see if I can fish out some old photos ,you never know ther e might be one of them together somewhere,my aun Ena kept loads of old family photos,she always said our Drummonds had links to Stirling castle x

Stirling Castle. Now that's interesting! Our family tales from Great Grandma is that we were to remember that we were descended from the HIGHLAND Drummonds. To hear the stories from a couple of other sources does reinforce those connections.

Hi and sorry about the late response - I have a ggg ggfather from Comrie in Duncan Drummond born 1776

His father also Duncan Drummond born Comrie ….

I’m wondering where these two fit in.

One of my Duncan’s married a Katherine Mailor if this helps…
