Looking for Ellen Goodyer in 1881 and later

[LizzieL]

I've now discovered Ellen died in Northampton in 1893 and Thomas Drury married Anne/Annie Rosina Kilvington in 1895 in Daventry.
In 1901 Anne Drury is a widow living with her sister Sabina Hicks. In the household is Catherine Mary Drury (Thomas and Ellen's youngest daughter). But where were Ellen's other children in 1901? I think Thomas died in 1898.

Thomas Frank 1876 (I have his marriage in 1913 in Northampton and location in 1939)
Florence May 1878
Albert 1879
Arthur Edward 1883

But no sign of Florence, Albert or Arthur after 1891

There is a Albert Drury age 22 years birth year 1879 Norwood London
Inmate Northamptonshire Regiment
The Barracks of the Depot Northamptonshire in the 1901 Census might be a possibility

Thank you, that certainly does look like him. Strange I couldn't find him earlier.

Enlisted 1898 Aldershot Northampton Regiment
Father Thomas Drury address Barracks Northampton
Brother recorded as Herbert Drury also in Northampton Regiment

Thank you again. Presumably Herbert is meant to be Albert.

[LizzieL]

Looks like he re-enlisted in 1910 in the Royal Welsh Fusiliers and was finally discharged in March 1919.

[LizzieL]

on the later service record Arthur has 3 people in Next of Kin section
Mother Annie - actually stepmother. Brother elder Frank (Thomas Frank), sister younger Katharine. I don't know if this means Florence and Albert had died by then, or three NOKs was plenty.

Yes I would think so for Albert .. do you have the birth date for Arthur E Drury ? I can see the baptism 15 July 1883
 ..If you have access to 1939 Register a possibility he is in Northampton
Possible marriage 1916 Northampton to Violet E Tyler she died. 1943 Northampton
Uk Departures  1949 Arthur E Drury of 214,Beech Avenue Northampton age 65 retired
Going to Melbourne
