My grandmother is June Ann Marchant.  Her mother was Beatrice Ellen Drawbridge, daughter of William Charles Drawbridge and Sarah Anne Drawbridge.  Do you think we are of relation?

It's quite possible.

Where in the world are you, and have you done any sort of research at all so far?

I don't think your great grandmother was the same "Beatrice" as she was "Beatrice Isabel" and not "Beatrice Ellen" but you never know!

I am in Buffalo, NY.  My grandmother lives in Florida.  So, you do not believe we are of the same Drawbridge? 
My grandmother's grandfather was William Charles Drawbridge (b. 1880) was married to Sarah Anne Drawbridge.
William Charles sister was Beatrice J.
William Charles & Sarah Anne had 4 daughters:  Annie Catherine (b. 1901), Beatrice Ellen (b. 1903), Ethel (b. 1908), and Winifred Joan (b. 1910)
Beatrice Ellen married Sydney Marchant in 1924 and had 2 daughters
Jean B (b. 1926) and June Ann (my grandmother, b. 1934)

Hello!
My grandmother was Ethel Drawbridge daughter of Willam Charles Drawbridge & Sarah Anne Drawbridge of Lamberhurst.

I remember her having a sister that had moved to America many years ago and two other sisters Annie and Winnie.
My father is Brian Edwards as granny married Lesley James Edwards.
My maiden name is Samantha Edwards.
I think we are related!
Look forwards to hearing from you
