This is how it goes Mavis: Anne Drury born abt 1828 Molash, parents were: William Drury born abt 1789 ? Wife name Elizabeth perhaps surname: Eldridge ? His parents were: William Drury born about 1762 and Elizabeth Austin. Then it goes to Thomas Drury/Sarah Jacob. Elizabeth Austin parents were: Edward Austin ? And Sarah Kingsland.

Anne Drury parents were William Drury born abt 1789/Elizabeth Eldridge, but not sure about the Eldrige surname ? Ann was born abt 1828 in Molash. William Drury parents were: William Drury/Elizabeth Austin. Then it goes to William's parents being: Thomas Drury/Sarah Jacob. The Kingsland surname also seems to be there somewhere...

Thanks Mavis for the info. I do realise it needs to be checked, and make sure I'm not climbing up the wrong tree, ahah. However, I think a lot of your info is correct.

Graham , please dont rely on other peoples tree info -- do try and find it your self - people do copy tree's thinking they are right but some times it turns out wrong.

Well Mavis, you have found a lot of my family link from Kent there... really brill to see it! Thanks very much, if you can find out a bit more that would be brill! However, you have already done much more than I thought, so, thanks very very much! William Drury married Elizabeth Eldridge, then I think it goes to his parents being: William Drury/Elizabeth Austin. Then William's parents being: Thomas Drury/Sarah Jacob. I didn't know about the Eldridge surname. I have found some info myself, but you have helped greatly to fill the major gaps I had!

Graham - you have it right , your John Wise who married Ann Drury / Drewrey those are his parents, John Francis Wise and Sarah Theobalds

I have several CD's of Kent parishes but not Selling sorry to say.

When I looked for John and Sarah Wise on the 1851 Census, I Iooked for Barbara, they are in Sheldwich., I use Ancestry - that can come up with info on people later on in years, James Marden Wise popped up as on the death reg in Australia.

If the Drury/ Drewrey family stayed in Molash then I can find some more on them.

will take me awhile so watch this space. I'll see what I can find !!

To confirm: John Wise born abt 1825, selling in Kent, parents were: John Francis Wise, Sarah Theobalds. Hope I've got it right.

Marvis, the above: John Wise married a Ann Drury, I take it you have gone back to his father also called John Wise. Sheldwich baptisms.
