My husband's grandmother was Elizabeth (Eliza) Drakely b. 1879 in Wolverhampton, Stafford. d. 1959. Her father was Thomas Drakely b. 1845 Warwick, England (on 1881 census the name was spelt DREAKLEY) he married Ellen McIver Castle b. 1848 in Wolverhampton. They were married in Wolverhampton 1865. I have found this family in the 1871, 1881 and 1891 census. I have found who I think is Thomas' parents on 1861 census but no Thomas jnr. My problems and dilema are that I cannot find anything on Thomas (b 1845) prior to 1871 on any census nor can I find anything on Ellen (nee Castle) prior to 1871. I know that Thomas's father was also a Thomas Drakely b 1805 and his mother's name was Harriet Unknown b. 1813. If there is anyone out there that can shed any light and help me break through this wall I would be most appreciative. |
