If they arrived as Unassisted Immigrants pre 1852 you won't find their arrival.

Assisted Passengers
There is a Henry Drury in 1852 on board the "Dominion" age 23 so age is a couple of years out and then a Anne Bolwell on board the "StenonHeath" aged 19  19 January 1853... again the age is a couple years out....

I have Henry's mum as Elizabeth Lower but Father Jeremiah and bapt 28 May 1826 Seaford Sussex so I will need a bit more work on this one....

I can't find anything on the 1851 census for Henry but I believe the family had moved to Surrey by then..

Thanks Cando...  :)

The Victoria, Australia, Assisted and Unassisted Passenger Lists, 1839–1923 forAnn Bolwell on Ancestry shows that Ann Bolwell was engaged by a family called McCarmen in Geelong as a domestic servant.
Other details as quoted by you.
Her birth/baptism record also shows she was born 3rd april 1833 which would mean she was 19 when she arrived. Record here https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:NPJ3-7P2

Hope this helps,
