Back to Annie Alice Drewery -

I don't understand where she comes in.
Did your old lady's grandparents (Annie Maria & Robert William in the 1911 already posted) give her that name as the link? Was she some relation of theirs? If not, where did they get the name from?

Annie Alice's parents seem to be Harry and Jane, and having followed all links I can think of to/from male relatives of Harry and Annie Alice, I don't see any link to Robert William - same as GlitterBaby.
Apart from the fact that they all lived in Hull.

Well I still can not prove that Annie and Gladys were related

Snippets from this link, in case they provide clues.
books.google.co.uk/books?isbn=0813122511:

The Drewerys liked to claim they were collateral descendants of Captain Cook, as there were Cooks in the family tree.

The 1911 census posted above is the correct one - Gladys's parents were Robert & Lavinia Drewery of Withernsea. There was a rumour in the family that Lavinia was an illegitimate child of the Prince of Wales (Edward VII).

(Claiming to be related to famous people does seem to be a habit with this family!)

Gladys was one of 10 children.

Kay's family home was on Elgin Ave in Maida Vale, and her parents took in boarders.

Two of Kay's cousins were James Drewery and Joy Drewery.
She had an Aunt Moya (no surname given).

Sorry still a sleep the old lady just ask if I'd got any further with the problem and I just gave her a quick answer. No

GlitterBaby posted the 1911 census on page 1 - Gladys was one of nine children in 1911.

Glitterbaby's Drewery Annie Ellis m Ellis William Drewery are this ladies grand parents and they told my friend of the connection

Proposed address in UK - Withernsea, Yorkshire

From googling her name:

her ladylike appearance with pratfalls, pop eyes and comic drunk scenes. Kendall could get away with such antics without looking vulgar.”[2]

Early life[edit source | edit]She was born Justine Kay Kendall McCarthy, at Stanley House, Hull Road, in Withernsea, a coastal resort in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. Kendall's father was Terrence "Terry" McCarthy (aka Terry Kendall), vaudevillian son of Marie Kendall, a music hall star known for her vivacious personality and perfect diction while singing. Her mother was the former Gladys Drewery. She had two elder siblings:

Terrence Justin "Terry" Kendall McCarthy (born 1923)
Patricia Kim "Pat" Kendall McCarthy (aka Kim Kendall, born 1925)
By her father's second marriage to his professional dancing partner, Dora Spencer, she had a younger half-brother:

Cavan Kendall McCarthy (aka Cavan Kendall) (1942-1999)
Kendall attended schools in England and Scotland, including St. Leonard's boarding school in Brighton, St. Margaret's convent school near Oban, and the Lydia Kyasht Dancing Academy in London. The actress's distinctive nose, an aristocratic swoop, was the result of plastic surgery after a car crash. As she told Dirk Bogarde, the surgeon had only two noses in his repertoire, "this one and the other one." The one she chose, Kendall explained, made it difficult to photograph her in profile.[citation needed]
