Hello there
Accidently logged on to this site and saw you wrote a message a month or so ago so sorry for the delay. If you join Genes Reunited you will find as well as me the great great grandaughter of Laura Drake Mounsdon also with his family tree on their is a decendant of Georgianna who married into the  Andrews family. There is another Mounsdon link as well with some of the Drake family that you obviously already know about. On the Genes  site when you find a family match you can ask the tree owner  to have access to their family tree. I would love to learn more on the info you have. When I have a bit more time I will perhaps put details of all Mary Mounsdon's brothers and sisters on here for you or may even put them on the Gener reunited site. There were about 10 or so brothers and sisters but some died very young. I will try and log on to this site more often from now on

Hi Me too fits and starts  I would be interested in seeing details of what you have. Laura Drake Mounsden my great grandmother wrote out a family tree and I have yhis and it goes back quite a way but with few details and also details of the birth of about 10 Mounsden children brothers and sister of Mary Mounsden. Do you have the family tee on any site?I have put quite a lot on Genes Reunited again in fits and starts as time permits

Hi there sorry has taken me a longtime to reply as forgot my log in pass word. I have a distant cousin who has had it passed down to her that two Drake boys "courted" two Mounsdon girls but they did not marry as it was felt that the girls were not from a suitable family. Who knows if this is the case. I have a copy of George H Drake's will he lived at 4 Queens Square Mount Radford. He left £500 to his friend Mary Mardon otherwise Henrietta H??? of Brunswick Square London. The balance of the executors account shows £1748.40 which GHD bequeathed Georgianna Drake Mounsdon to share equally between herself mother brother and sister. Georgianna at the time of the will lived in Bartholomew Street Exeter and was named as executrix Will dated 5th sept 1859. Died it looks like 30th Dec 1863

Hope this is of interest to you if you do not already have this info

Hi there
Georgiana was my great great aunt
I have a sampler that she did and also the catalogue of the Andrews family when they were auctioning the coach business in Winchester. I am interested in finding out more about George Henry Drake if anyone has any info. He was Mary Mounsdons partner and her daughter Amelia Drake Mounsdon was my great great grandmother. I have the middle name of Drake which has been carried down through our side of the family

Hi - are you still researching? I'm pretty sure your Georgianna Drake Mounsdon is my great-great Aunt; in which case I know quite a bit about her family - including some of her ancestors back to 1670!

Our family tree only records that she married a Winchester Coach Builder and emigrated to Australia though. Did you find anything out? Are you a direct descendent by any chance? Thanks.
