Drayton Middlesex

[Derwentwater]

One of my ancestors Mary ANDERSON b. 1843/44 later after 1867 Mary MARTIN her birthplace is recorded Drayton, Middlesex.  I obtained the place of birth from 1871 & 61 census.

Is Drayton the same as West Drayton today or does it refer to another place?  I understand that there is a Drayton Green towards Ealing could this have any bearing on the location?

As of yet I have not been able to trace Mary ANDERSON definitively in the 1851 census as I have no knowledge of whom her parents were.

Did she marry George MARTIN in 1867, if so looks like her fathers name is Joseph ANDERSON (Labourer, deceased at wedding).

I obtained the place of birth from 1871 & 61 census

I think I have found her;

1861 Mary is a servant in the Evitt household in Staines, Middlesex, born Drayton abt 1844.
RG9/765/52/2

1851 she is with her Mother Mary and siblings. Back soon with full Census details.

1851 Census
HO107/1698/71/35
Kings Arms Lane,
Heston, Middlesex

Mary ANDERSON, 39, Widow, Receipt of Parish Relief, Mid/Toddington
Frances..., 9, dau, At Home, born Mid/Drayton
Plisa(sic).., 7, dau, Scholar, Drayton
MARY ANN ANDERSON, 5, dau, born Drayton
William..., 4, son, Drayton
Elizabeth.., 11mths, born Heston

Unfortunately I searched for a death of Joseph in Brentford reg district that Heston is in, 1850-1851 and the only ones I found were late 1851.
There are a couple of other possibilities one in St Pancras Sept 1949 but that would be cutting it fine for Mary snr to be preganant and give birth to Elizabeth 1850

By the age of Mary snr in 1851 there could be older children who have left home by 1851.

I will see if I can find Joseph/Mary in 1841 Census and Marriage.

Cheers,
Trish

If you search FreeBMD, births 1840-1850, Anderson, Uxbridge, all counties, several births come up that correspond with 1851 Census I found.
I found the reg district whilst trying to find birth reg for Frances Anderson born abt 1842. I tried that one as it was the least common name.

Also this;
Mary Ann ANDERSON, December 1845, Uxbridge, 3 355

Thanks Mick

Do you think the Census stuff I found is possibly her?
Age is a little out though.

Thankyou to both bickermickau & trish1120 for your enthusiastic research.  Sorry I haven't got back to you sooner.

bikermickau thanks for the marriage details.  I suspected they were married at St Simon Zelotes because of their address in the 1871 census in ecclesiastical parish of St Simon.  To know both their fathers names & occupations will be a boon to my research, thanks.

trish1120 I had found the census HO107/1698 aswell sometime ago but wasn't 100% about it because of the age discrepancy you refer to.  I tried to use the siblings from this census to locate older siblings not living with their mother in 1851.  This seemed to yeild results (see RG 9/764) with an older brother named Joseph living at Dawley in the parish of Harlington.  If they are the same individuals (Frances & William) their birthplace has been recorded as Heston rather than Drayton.

I'm curious whether Drayton would be in the parish of Heston?  any ideas?
