History
Andrew Drummond was born in Edinburgh in 1811. A graduate of Edinburgh University, he emigrated to Canada in 1833 to join his uncle, Robert, who was engaged in developing the Rideau Canal. In 1834, he joined the Commercial Bank of Canada in Kingston, and in 1843 he became manager of the bank in Ottawa. He went to the Bank of Montreal, becoming the manager in Ottawa in 1846. Andrew and his wife Margaret had nine children. Of these, Charles was deeply involved in promoting the Hudson's Bay Railway; Frank was associated with the Northwest Navigation Company; and George attempted to set up a company to promote a new version of the typewriter he invented.
