Hi could anyone please search the British Isles Vital Records Index for a Peter Drysdale or could be known as Peter Cockburn or Peter Cockburn Drysdale. I have found a death for him in 1893 Manchester age 43 so presumably birth c 1850 and marriage c 1875. Double barrell name of Cockburn Drysdale was dropped to Drysdale. Thanks Carolyn
