Hi Dave, I'm taking you up on your very generous offer to look in the census indexes for 1851 and 1861. I'm hoping you will be able to find (yes still) Albert John DREW and hopefully with his family including parents, Henry and Ann DREW. In 1851 Albert would have been 8 or 9. You might recall I was looking for him in Dorset as that is where he was born but recently found a DREW in the `1881 and 1901 in Portsmouth. I am fairly sure that this DREW, George H on the census, is Albert's older brother George Henry Nathaniel Drew born 1835, Weymouth of Henry and Ann Drew. At any rate there is enough info to give me hope I'll find Albert with his parents in one or both of the census in Hampshire. He/they certainly were not in Dorset and I haven't been able to locate any info re deaths. Many thanks Dave. Eleanor B. C. Canada
Hi Eleanor I've checked the 1851 census indexes & none of these names appear. Sorry!
