Hi Pat,
thanks for your replay.
I was very astonished, that I found
someone, who knows something about my
ancestors.

The fact is, that I have all my informations
from the will of John Laidlay Bashford
and the entry in the book Who is Who, Vol.1
from a genealogist from England.

In this book, the parents of John were named
Frederik Bashford and Mary Elizabeth Butler,
BUT
as I know, the parents of Georg Laidlay
(*03.05.1805 +06.09.1867) were named
Georg Laidlay and Agnes -?-.
There must be an adoption or something else.

Georg Laidlay went as a young man to
Amsterdam, where he was "riding teacher"
(I don't know the right word in English)
at the "Tattersaal". There he met Konstany
Adam Czartoryski, who was a polisch
nobelist, and went with him to Poland.
He married in 1834 Antonia Halitzka and
died in Slesia. He is my grand-grandfather.

Perhaps, you can find some links!

Can you send me your own email-adress, so
I can write to you directly?

Greetings from Germany,
Thomas
