William Drury

[rosie99]

Possibly his 2nd marriage
Marriages Dec 1858 
Drury William            
Groom    Selina Long           
King    Edmund          
Raffety    Ellen       
St Geo Han Sq    1a   381

There is another marriage between a William Drury and an Ellen Wakeham Sept qtr 1859 St Giles reg district but the register entry for that gives William Drurys occupation as a Tailor.

I have not seen the originals but am curious about the profession of Carver and wonder if the original is, 'CARTER'?   A Carter and Carrier were very much the same occupation and would explain why William and his son were found away from the family address in Brighton.      Roy G

The 1861 gives his occupation as Carver Wood and Stone.

Thanks for the clarification Rosie.  Was Robert (aged 15 on 1861 census) down as born in Brighton, for the age is about right for him to be Sophia's youngest child?   Roy G

Ellen Drury wife age 40 upholsteress bn High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire (Typical occupation for someone bn High Wycombe    )

Perhaps this is Robert's birth on FreeBMD.   There are no others that match.

Patience,

It looks as though you need to post your original request on the Kent boards now unless you have a findmypast sub in which case Canterbury records are in the Canterbury collection but you have to browse them.
