Hi slaw

I've just read your post looking for information about your husband's G/G/Grandfather who studied here at the University of St Andrews.

Click here
http://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/specialcollections/ and get details for the Special Collections Department then email them speccoll[color=Blue][at][/color]st-andrews.ac.uk with your information and what you want to know.  Give them a little while to collate the information and to answer you.  It's a busy place!

Regards

PS   I've just found other posts from you nearer to today than this one with the information you seem to have required so you can disregard it!

Family surnames being researched ...
Crawford, Neilson, Lindsay, Reekie, Davidson
Drummond, Laing, Pearson, Tulloch ... will do for starters but there's a whole lot more!
