ROBERT DREWRY
Christening: 07 APR 1760, Saint Mary Le Wigford, Lincoln
Father: ROBT DREWRY
Mother: ANN
Robert's death is reported:
The Burial Record shows that Robert was 26 and buried in Spalding, Lincolnshire, about 40 miles south of Lincoln.
We know that the Drewrys of Lincoln have links with the Drewrys of London. For example, Robert's brother, Samuel, is in Westminster in 1789.
Interestingly, we have a reference to a Samuel Drewry as a merchant in 1797 in Westminster.
(A mercer is a merchant specializing in textiles.)
This Samuel could be Robert's brother, our Samuel.
Coincidentally, Tillotson Laycock, Samuel and Robert's step-father, is recorded as a mercer in 1748.
