Hi,
I am looking for info on my Great Great Grandmothers Mary Ann Drew b1816 in Stoke Sub Hamdon Family ,
She had a brother Edwin Drew  b c1814 in Stoke Sub Hamdon their parents were Ann Bishop b1791 in Stoke Sub Hamdon and Charles Drew  b 1790 Somerset  married 3/7/1812 Stoke Sub Hamdon.

 I've come across Charles Drew b 1790 in Odcombe who had Married in Stoke Sub Hamdon c 1833 a Hannah Mitchell b c1812 with about 6 kids living in Stoke Sub Hamdon in the 1841 Census.

What I want to know is, is this the same Charles Drew who  Married Ann Bishop and then remarried Hannah Mitchell or not ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I currently have the microfilm with all the scans from 1800-1831 from St Mary's in Stoke Sub Hamden.  I'll have a look for these people.  Father's occupation started to be listed in 1815, and witnesses for marriages were there from before 1800.

I cannot go into the history centre until Tuesday, but if you PM me your email, I will take save a copy of these people's records and email them to you.  These would essentially be the same as the documents that you would be able to order from England, but they won't be on coloured paper and stamped with a seal.

The 1812 marriage will not state the fathers of the couple. 

Since Mary Ann was born in 1816, her birth record should state her father's occupation.  Then if you find Charles and Hannah in the 1841 census and he has the same occupation, you have a stronger case for the same man.

Hi Mr Bish,
I have many DREW family scrolls and one shows info on Mary-Ann Drew born 29.4.1816. Her mother was Ann Bishop and father was Charles Drew. Mary Ann had 2 older brothers, Edwin who appears to have died as an infant, as her second brother was also named Edwin, and a younger sister Sarah. She also had 7 step brothers and sisters from Charles's second marriage to Hannah Mitchell following the death of Mary Ann's Mother, Ann.
I am related to one od Mary Ann's step brothers, Thomas.

Hi Craigmellion and Mr Bish

I am one of Thomas's mob (Headly was my great grand father) living at the Burra then at Medindie . Thomas's old home at the Burra was only sold about 6 months ago. Graigmellion  who of Thomas's children are you from? I think i may have the same scrolls as Craigmellion- are they the ones done by Helen Padman in the 1980's?

I left a message previously but i don't think it made it through. Mr Bish our tree does have Mary Ann Drew on it but a note saying that there isn't information on Anne Bishop's Children -  you have now helped us out - i think Edwin also may have come out-  are you able to confirm??.

I may be able to help to fill in some gaps such as The Light was a grazing property at Lower Light near Pt Gawler / Buckland Park.

Elizabeth Chapman (nee Drew) were grazing out there before moving back to Highfield at what is now St Georges .
