Millie, Alan and Nigel,
Thank you so much for all your help. You cleared up the identity of 'Jules' and have provided so many new links, leads and confirmations that my Drinkwater heritage has at least a couple more generations and almost a hundred years from poor young George D.
After losing his father just before his 2nd birthday, and his mother at 16 yr, he didn't find love/marriage till he was 26. Little wonder he moved to Yorkshire to see if his luck would change.
So many thanks for all your brilliant help

My family is also Drinkwater, my Nan. One of my ancestors moved from Islip Oxfordshire to Uxbridge.

Hi Woodentop,
Oxfordshire was a real hotbed of Drinkwater’s, particularly in the 1800s when the families were really big. My Branch of the family can be traced backwards from Standlake to Brize Norton and then to Bampton, but that’s as far as I can confidently go. I have noticed a cluster of Drinkwater’s in Islip but can’t find a link with the Brize Norton bunch. Do let me know if you find the link.
Cheers

Hi again Woodentop,
The Islip branch of the family go back further than I thought. I just found a John Drinkwater = Mary Broom marriage in Islip dated 19 th July 1764 (Ancestry citing Oxfordshire Family History). If you are not there already, that should give you an ancestor to aim for!
Cheers

I have got to Broom, that is where I am at a dead end. 🙄 I shall keep toiling, we are probably cousins.

The Drinkwater lines are generally very big. My mum was one of 16 children. That is the Drinkwater - Cox line.
