Hi again Shaninne.

Just cleaning up an older computer and checking to see if some saved logons are still active. I must admit I have not been actively pursuing ancestry - but I understand that Darlene keeps her hand in things. Hope all is well with you and that you have found more info about the photos and family history. If you have more info, please let us know.
Keep well,
Jack

Shaninne,

I was just cleaning up old emails and saw your post. I looked at all the pictures that you sent Debbie (who passed a copy to me) and must admit I do not recognize anyone. There is one person in 1 photo that looks like Donald(your dad) on the photo of Otto's family we discussed originally, but it's only a guess on my part.
I have not done any checking/researching re genealogy in the last several years.

Just touching base again, it's been a long time. For others following this, I have sent a corrected photograph to Shaninne separately.

Yes Phil, I am the orangeCat from several years back who visited your homepage and guestbook.

Thanks Gobbo,

My grandfather Frank Arthur Drawbridge, son of William and Annie, had a number of brothers. One brother was William C (DoB 1880)  born at Goudhurst, Kent.

The whole family seems to originate in Goudhurst, and most seem to be agricultural workers, millers etc.

My William C seems 3 generations or so after your William.

LOL what's confusing is you posting the different info on different threads LOL   ;)


anyway, I'd say the census can be taken as basic confirmation.

The big anomaly is Annies Maiden name. Either that is the wrong marriage, or they didnt marry.

best bet is to get Franks Birth Papers - reference shown earlier - to reveal her names.

You can order online for £7.00 (£9.25 from early April onward) using a Card.

Mort,

The 2 threads are
1) the moderator started a new thread, and
2) I started a thread based on your instructions.

Mort29,

This is what I have been able to find, but the spelling of Aannie seems weird to me. These are the dates I would use and recognize that the census 1891 would pre-date Otto's birth.
Your reference to Taylor seems irrelevant.

Descendant's report for Aannie J Drawbridge
Generation No. 1
        1. Aannie J Drawbridge She was born 1858 at Horsham, Sussex
        She married William Drawbridge on c 1876. He was born 1856 at Goudhurst, Kent. They had the following children:
        i   Ernest Alfd who was born 1876 at Horne, Surrey
        ii   William C who was born 1880 at Goudhurst, Kent
        iii   Beatrice J who was born 1882 at Goudhurst, Kent
        iv   Charles H V who was born 1884 at Goudhurst, Kent
        v   Percy John who was born 1886 at Goudhurst, Kent
        vi   Arthur F who was born 1888 at Goudhurst, Kent
        vii   Annie who was born 1890 at Burwash, Sussex
        viii   Ellen who was born 1891 at Burwash, Sussex

I would like to know more about  William's father, mother, siblings etc. as you mentioned in earlier post:

After a quick look, it seems that they were 'always' in Goudhurst - William's father was a Charles born c1830 and his Grandfather a Samuel, born c1796-1801

Yes agree that some dates are confusing. I have info from different sources as well. I was going by the census and info from Cherry. Then, I see a photo of the marriage licence that shows Mother's maiden name as Annie Jane Arnold. I previously thought it was Booth????
Also on the licence are the ages of Frank , Gertrude  --- maybe those are questionable??
Not trying to be confusing, it seems different info on different sources.

Mort29,

Frank's mother's maiden name was Annie Jane Arnold according to  Frank's marriage licence ( I have a picture of it.)
Marriage in  Portsmouth, Ontario, Sept 20, 1918 (now part of Kingston).
Frank was 27 which puts his DoB as 1891. His wife Gertrude May Haffie was 24 which puts here DoB as 1894.

Census Lookup and Resource Requests / Re: Drawbridge surname

Thanks for responding.
I do have some information from Census. I did get a response a few years ago from a lady on a different forum with Census info. Since that time I had a major computer failure, and just recently a relative in England got in touch by email and is interested in any Family Tree info we may have. I have just "restarted" some searching based on things I have found via Google.

Below is the post from a Cherry Drawbridge from a few years back. Note I tried recontacting her but email address in no longer valid.

I think I can help you re Frank Arthur Drawbridge.
William Drawbridge & my grandfather were brothers.
William was the 3rd son of Charles & Mary Elizabeth Drawbridge.
I have a list of Baptisms from Christ Church, Kilndown,
(a village near Goudhurst, near Tunbridge Wells) It is next to Scotney Castle where some of them worked.
William's baptism date is 12 Jan 1857.
There are 4 children listed of William & Annie Drawbridge.
They are   6 Nov1881 Beatrice Isabel
                 4 Mar 1883 Charles Henry Victor
                 1 Nov 1885 Percy Samuel John
                 12 Jun 1887 Arthur Frank
 
Note that Arthur Frank must have preferred to use Frank.
Also these are baptisms, not birth dates.

Charles Drawbridge was the landlord of the Postboy Inn.
Try 1881 census for him & William. They all had such big families, but all seem to come from Kent.
My maiden name was Drawbridge. Good searching!
Cherry.
