I tried looking for the Richard John b Hackney in the census but could only find him in the 1911 like you listed - who were his parents? Where abouts in London did he live 1881 - 1901? |

Thanks for the coronation information - in which case, maybe he was told he was born in 1912 but thought he was born 1911. Will go check 1912 now! |

The coronation of Gerge V took place 22/6/1911 although he acceeded to the throne 6/5/1910 - so he may have been wrong about being born a year earlier. Not sure how or if this helps though. |

Unfortunately I have no idea what Elizabeth's maiden name is. I've looked for marriages between George Drury and an Elizabeth in London and came up with: |

Just spoke to my mother and she said that George recalled growing up with two twin "brothers" although not for very long. Possiblt Faulkners? I did a quick search and found a Frederick W Faulkner and Joseph H Faulkner born Islington 1915, mother's maiden name of Gilby. There is a Gilby/Faulkner marriage in Islington 1912 between William Faulkner and May Lillian Gilby but so far I cannot see any connection to the Drury's. |

My family know nothing about his parents. George thought his father was Richard John Drury. Some rumour of the surname Faulkner and mother possibly fled to Canada? We wondered whether Faulkner was the mother's name but have searched for George Faulkners too and nothing comes up for that year. Also rumoured that his father died when George was young which is why he was "adopted" He believed he was born in Islington. George Henry Drury had no brothers and sisters that he was aware of. |

Just been looking in to L F Flood. The one mentioned above was born c 1891. No L F Flood born around then so clearly she got married. Found a Louisa F Cooke married to James W Flood in 1915 Islington. There is a Louisa Frances Cooke born 1891 Chelsea so that looks like her. Found her on the census and her mother was Louisa Job who married George Frederick Cooke and then later Richard Hardy Bills. Richard Hardy Bills had been married previously too and had a child called Richard Hardy Bills - I'm wondering whether he could actually be the father to George Henry Drury. |

?? This Richard was born in 1876, Hackney - he was in London on all census 1881-1901, and shows up in Lincs in 1911 the occupation ties up with previous census. |

I've tried the 1911 and have not come up with anything useful at all. On the marriage certificate for George Henry Drury it lists "Richard John Drury (Deceased)" |

Do you have an occupation for Richard? Might be worth looking for him 1911. |

Sorry it said: "widow of george drury (a builder)". |

Flip | Report | 4 Jun 2012 08:24 |
It said "wife" to George, not widow so I think that would indicate George was still alive? |
