DREW Frederick Charles. I logged on last year looking for my husbands grandfather, then forgot where I had done it and moved on to other things. .
It was quite distressing to read all the grumpy remarks about me when I Googled his name again recently, I thought genealogists were all nice helpful folk.
It seems I have upset a lot of people because I did not know how much info to give out, this being my first time ever on such a forum.
So can I start a fresh, and hopefully I will do it "your way" in future. The person signing as Geoff D. I would love to talk to.
DREW Frederick Charles: married Elsie Rogers in Worle, Somerset, 13 Feb 1913.Their marriage cert. says he was 20yrs old: his father was DREW Frederick, a carpenter. They had 2 sons.
Frederick Charles was killed on Aug 16 Belgium WWI. He appears on the Tyne Cot Memorial. We have the letter from the war office declaring him killed, the letter from the King and his death plaque, so I know we have the right man in F.C.DREW.
He died while serving with the 11th Battalion of the Royal Inniskilling Fuseliers pvt 40551, enlisted in Taunton, born in ORCHARD BISHOP,Co. DOWN. Military-Genealogy has him also in the Somerset light Infantry pvt 26403, which may or may not be our Fred. There is no such place as the birth transcription, I have tried and tried to find the Inniskilling archives with no success, so am still at my brickwall and would really appreciate any help. I am aware of the 3 DREW f.c.'s on 1901 census, but until his birthplace is confirmed I cannot get any further. If I knew how to find the record from which this transcription came, that would be an enormous help.
