Hi all!
Does anyone know what happened to the 11 children of Charles Drakeford and Mary Sophia Hewitt? Charles and Mary married in 1822 and their children were all baptised in Stepney as follows: Arthur 1820, Charles 1823, George, Sophia, Sarah & Frances 1829, Mary & Susan 1833, Elizabeth 1834, Thomas 1836 and Ellen Sophia 1841.
I'd like to know whether any of them married and had children, and any information about further descendants would be brilliant.
Thanks
Roger

well, if they survived to adulthood, then all marriages should be on freebmd or other (london parish) ? sources.
Since it is s afree resource: What freebmd candidates did you come up with?

Hi Pauline
Thank you very much for all your help, which has got me off to a good start. I will be checking out all the standard sources - just wondered whether anyone else had done any work on the family already.

Hi Ciderdrinker
That's brilliant - thank you. Plenty of leads for me to follow up.
I'm helping with a Drakeford one-name study and am concentrating on the Coleshill branch of the family at the moment. Very interested to see a Scottish connection as there is very little Drakeford activity there.

Thanks Jennifer
I think this is a different branch of the Drakeford clan - the family appear in 1841 at Caroline Place, Shoreditch, Middlesex [HO107/709/bk1/fol39/p7]. By 1851 both parents had died and the children were scattered. Parents married St James Clerkenwell 16 Oct 1829 - William Drakeford and Elizabeth Sarah Williams.
Still of interest as I'm helping with a Drakeford one-name study.
