Michael:
Nice surprise to hear from you.I do believe we have a match --- are you my
cousin - a hundred removed?
I seriously believe that your Joseph Drane at "Nr. Vicarage, Little Sampford,
Essex is the same Joseph who was one of the children of Robert & Sarah.
I have only looked hard at Isaac Drane, a brother of Joseph, so far as he is
my direct ancestor, a g.g.grandfather.
An "Order for removal" of Robert Drane and his family dated 9 July 1835
shows Joseph at 6 yrs. old which would probably tie in with the approximate
age at census time.Born approx. 1830.I would like to search the parish
records for the whole family.Have you done such a search?
We should correspond off-line as I know about Isaac and can do research fon
the rest of the family and tie it in with yours. I would be glad to help look
for your Gilbey who was married to Sarah the mother-in-law.What kind of
access to records do you have?In which country do you live?
Write to me off-line and I will give you more information about the Dranes
and thus perhaps lead to the Gilbeys.I am sure we are connected.
