Parents of Matthew DREW, early 18th century

[garlands]

In the period 1700-10, the only other marriages, in England, between a Thomas DREW and an Elizabeth XXXX are in Middlesex (1701/2) and Yorkshire (1703). I believe that these are too early and too distant and can safely be ignored. Therefore, the one cited earlier must be of the parents of the infants baptizes in 1710 and 1712. Unfortunately, that still doesn't clarify which couple baptized Matthew in 1720!

Knowing that Matthew's parents were either:-

06 Dec 1708  Thomas DREW m Elizabeth HEATH

                             or

21 Aug 1712  Thomas DREW m Elizabeth WOOD in Bromyard

I've been looking for a 'name' link with grandparents and, apart from the obvious 'Thomas' and Elizabeth, I've found:-

??.??.1686  bap of Elizabeth  to  Matthew & Elizabeth WOOD in Wacton

In the complete absence of any other instances of the name 'Matthew', I believe that these must be the parents I've been seeking, so my thanks to everyone who has contributed to the search.

I don't know why the day and month are missing from the transcript, but if anyone can provide them I should be most grateful.
