Hi Melissa, Have you looked at the IGI? It has the following- Christening: John Drydale (with an 'a') 28 May 1824 at Stokesley, Yorks. Parents- James and Elizabeth Drydale. Marriage: James Drydale and Elizabeth Jackson 21 February 1818 at Stokesley, Yorks. It may be worth checking out the batch numbers for Stokesley to see if there are siblings. HTH.
