I have just assembled John James Alice and Jean all with early 1800 birthdates on the Ulster Historical Foundation website
www.ancestryireland .com and then hit the wrong key excitedly and lost them all. You can look up them up yourself it’s a pay to view site. I would first double check all Co Down Drakes in
www.familysearch.com for Ireland, as these would be free.
My earlier reaction was you are to quick to judge Ros Davies website not including enough to get a line on some catholic Co down Drakes.
James DRAKE . Bright of Conianstown; colonel in United Irishmen at Battle of Ballynahinch; supported Thomas Russell's Rebellion of 1803 & hanged at Downpatrick Gaol Oct 1803; photo of Charles Drake, his brother available MO 14 &21/5/03 & 18/6/03; FSFD p46; LM 1992 p37; MOA p317 [Jim adds although many Presbyterians were members of the United Irishmen the majority were catholics. I would want to check this man further] Jim adds Conianstown is also spelt Coniamstown it’s a townland on the middle north of Bright parish which is underneath ie south of Downpatrick. I read into the history this townland had connections to Catholicism.
