Trying to work out who the above people were - might give you more insight into Thomas Drinkwater. Just by searching the above names on the Gloucestershire Archives Catalogue.

Men in Armour for Gloucestershire 1608 - shows where the male DRINKWATER's were residing (including a Henry & Samuell DRINCKWATER of City of Gloucester A40 (age approx 40).

Looking at the FoD records, DRINCKWATER early connections to Ashleworth and Deerhurst

Many thanks again. I have made a note of the reference number and added it to a list of records I hope to peruse at the Gloucester Record Office eventually. It is a good idea to find out more about the names mentioned, as you suggest. I'll let you know if I ever achieve illumination re the missing will and the possibly very late administration request.

Best wishes
