Looking for wedding John Drew and Elizabeth

[keyboard86]

So possibly the Sarah was baptised 1720 the same as the Elizabeth DRUE but in a different location?

Knowing Swaffham Prior it must be 40 odd miles from Swaffham?

Hi Keyboard

That is the only assumption I can think of, I wondered   how I can access the Settlement papers to see the reasons for the relocation to Swaffham Prior and the names of the children mentioned in the papers.

Kind Regards

What about all the John + Elizabeth Drue baptisms in Swaffham after 1720? Next one was Edward, 10 October 1721
See the beautifully written parish register here

Meanwhile,
Sarah Drew was baptized in Swaffham Prior, 2 October 1720

So I suppose it is possible a John DRUE married an Elizabeth somewhere c 1720  and the the couple moved to Swaffham and had a family?

Hi Jon/Keyboard

My poor old eyes cannot make our the records from Swaffham, but the Free Reg transcriptions fo not show a baptism of Edward in Swaffham and I wondered why not ?

Somewhere, but where? And how much of a family already in Wormegay?

What's that all about? Right man, wrong man?

Looks like the John/Elizabeth DRUE were having children until 1729 Swaffham?

FreeReg
Swaffham, St Peter and St Paul, Norfolk
Baptism date 10 Oct 1721
Person forename Edw:d
Father forename John
Father surname   DRUE
Mother forename Eliz:th

I honestly think Swaffham, Norfolk, looks a bit unlikely now.

John Drue married Margaret Brown, 28 July 1751, Swaffham Prior, Cambridgeshire.
I have no knowledge of whether this is the John from earlier, a son of his, or someone unrelated.

Hi Keyboard and Jon

Bang goes another theory, back to the drawing board. The only nagging doubt I have ia about the settlement papers from Wormegay Norfolk to Swaffham Prior . Did he and the family move from their I thin I need to get hold of the papers and find out what happened to that family. Jon how can I access the Settlement papers you mentioned earlier. Thank you both so much for all your kind assistance.

Kind Regards
