Does anyone have any connections or interest in the Dreher family of Derby c1830's to 1880's?

John Dreher is originally described as a pork butcher from Foreign Parts. He married Elizabeth Wathall in 1835. His son Thomas Dreher worked as a cab driver/groom and married Emma Ball in 1873. By 1880 he was in Salford/Manchester where his daughter Eliza married Samuel Walker in 1902.

Samuel and Eliza are my maternal great grandparents.

I would like to learn more about the Dreher family as I lose my branch in the early 1900's.

Hey! I’ve just come across this as I’ve been digging into my family tree.

Thomas Dreher & Emma Ball are my second great-grandparents on my mother’s side. She grew up in Longsite but majority of that side were Manchester & from what I can see further across too!

Thomas & Emma had another son called Thomas (who married Emma Dixon), who had another son called Thomas (who married Ida Bateman) who is my grandfather.
