Thank you so much Doreen!!! Did they show a death date for him?? I should have mentioned it in my first post, but I think mine died between 1841 and 1845. He seems to be on the 1841 census and on Helen's death notice in 1845 it indicates the "late" Alexander Drummond. Thanks again!! Tom McMillan Tom, The only one I can find was born in Monzie, parents were William Drummond and Janet McUrrich. No mention of a wife though. His siblings were John, Isabel and William.

"Late" doesn't mean dead in Scottish documents. It means "former." For example, my great-grandfather, who was very much alive, is called "late schoolmaster, Duror" -- meaning he was formerly the schoolmaster there, but is now probably retired. Sheila
