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.
