Bless you that's her! because all children took her name Cole as a middle name,Does it give anymore info on her like when or where she was born or died?does It give a marriage for Robert Drake and Ann Lewis?

[Annette7]

Census shows her born ca.1791 Rutland and I would think she is:

Elizabeth Cole bp.1/1/1789 Oakham, Rutland, dau. of Thomas and Elizabeth (per familysearch).

Census shows she died between 1841 and 1851 (when Robert a widower and living with married dau. Harriet and family) and must be the one whose death is recorded in the June quarter of 1847 Oakham, Rutland.   Cannot find burial online (Rutland doesn't have a very good coverage online).

I note Robert Drake was a tailor which would have required an apprenticeship, often away from home.   I can only find one marriage between a Robert Drake and Ann Lewis in the whole of England - 1805 (full date not given in transcripts online) St. Margaret, Rochester, Kent.  However, Rochester is covered on the Medway CityArk site where you can view copies of the original parish records (free) but you have to trawl through the pages.   They were married after banns on 22/7/1805 - simply states they were both single.   Witnesses Wm. Lewis and Eleanor Sparks (she made her mark).   Pre civil registration in 1837 this is the only information you will find on parish marriages.

Robert Drake bc.1781 Uppingham (per 1851 census) and this must be his baptism:

Robert Drake bp.20/3/1780 Uppingham, son of Robert and Frances.

(Familysearch.org is a free site)

I can't personally find the marriage but a public tree on Ancestry shows Robert Drake married Frances Taylor 16/4/1775 Uppingham.

As much as I can do.

Thankyou so much appreciated,will see what I can find out,just to let you know I was doing some research and just typed in Drake family in Rutland and it came up with family history of the Dukes of Rutland and it read Elizabeth Drake mistress of 3rd Earl of Rutland for 45 yrs and they had 2 children Roosalina and I think it was Thomas!maybe there's a link who knows?

Finding it difficult,I know Robert Drake born 1781 in Uppingham was married to Elizabeth Cole in 1819,but because his father was also Robert finding info about him is more tricky,can anyone help?
