Trying to find out about Joseph Henry Drury. Who was the father of Eva Elizabeth Drury. She was born on the 1 st of March 1908. I have her birth cerificate. Her mother was Emma Drury nee Duncombe. I believe Joseph Drury was killed in the first world war. I can find lots of information about Emma, but nothing about Joseph. Like where was he born or any marraige details for him and Emma.HELP

You've told us when Eva was born, but not where. Is Emma the one aged 11 in 1901 in Bracebridge (or had she married by then)?
OK, this was their marriage so we have something to start from-
Marriages Dec 1907

**DUNCOM__ Emma Lincoln 7a 1161 Scan available - click to view

THACKER Edmund Lincoln 7a 1161
The marriage cert will of course give his parents' names.
Could he have come from Sussex?

hi Geoff,
Many thanks for the quick reply. Eva Drury was born at Bracebridge. The problem is that the birth Certificate says that his name is Joseph Henry and not Harry. The Emma in Bracebridge is the right one. I dont think he came from Sussex. Most of what I know about my ancesters is that they all came from Lincolnshire or one of the counties close by.
-
I don't think there's any doubt that that is the marriage in 1907, is there? Duncombe is an unusual name. Henry and Harry are the same name, it's just that Henry is more formal. What was his occupation in 1908?
-
hi Geoff, many thanks again for the info, all I have to do is find out when and where he was born?
-
Marriage cert would give his father's name. So would a parish record lookup.
-
cheers Geoff. will have to fork out some more money and get the cerificate. I think you are right about the marraige. Was a little unsure to begin with as there was a rumour that my grandma was born out of wedlock.Thanks for your help as I have been going round in circles for the past 2 months.
-
Have purchased the marriage certificate,only problem now is that his father was also called Joseph Drury.and have been on Ancester.co.uk and there is no record of a Joseph Drury born about 1885 with a father called Joseph Drury. Any ideas would be very helpful.

I have two "Joseph Drewry's"[Drury] in my family tree but they were both born in 1809-Doncaster and Owston. have not been able to find anything on them except their births. Karin
-
Thanks for the info Katiebee, I havn't a clue where the Drurys came from. one person in my family say they were travllers with a fair ground attraction. one says they came from north Lincolnshire and somebody else told me they came from Yorkshire. All I know is that one married an Emma Duncombe in 1907 but there is no details on any of the data bases for a Joseph Drury with a father of the same name round about the time I am looking for.

Hi Ricky1
I have Drury in my family tree coming from the lincon area and also into norfolk but the surname has changed over time to Deary then to Derry so this could also be a possiblity to look at when you get the chance.
Sorry to but even more spanners into the search.

I'd forgotten about this one Ricky - it seems it was the day after you registered with RC and I'd only been around for a few months. We were kids weren't we? Well, not exactly ;)
Come to think of it, I have DREWRYs back in the 1700s.
