Thank you M J Billingham

I don't know if your invitation to view your tribal pages tree was just for Gladys, but I had a look anyway.

I don't have much connection to George Abell 1814 and have already detailed some connections, but your family tree added some specific dates of birth and details of 2 deaths.

In return I may have some information for you. I only followed 2 of the 5 children of George Abell & Elizabeth Dickenson; Elizabeth Anne 20th May 1849 & Sarah 24 Feb 1856. I have previously detailed some information regarding Elizabeth Anne and her marriage to Enoch Meredith. I only followed 2 of their 9 children including Mary Jane 1887 as her marriage to William John Nicholls 1886, resulted in a daughter Edith Eleanor Nicholls 1909 who married my 2nd cousin twice removed Arthur Percival Barnard 30 Aug 1906 on 23 May 1931 at Cinderford - 3 children.

The other daughter of George Abell & Elizabeth Dickenson that I followed Sarah born 24 Feb 1956 married James Drinkwater 1853 as you have in your tree. I can add more detail for you. You have shown his father Samuel Ballard Drinkwater, he was born 1813 baptised 7 May 1813 Mitcheldean son of John Drinkwater & Ann Scudamore. Samuel Ballard Drinkwater 1813 married Jane Martin 1822 at Longhope 5 Oct 1847.

James Drinkwater 1853 and Sarah Abell had 5 children; Alfred James 1885, Ada Louise 1 Nov 1887, William 16 Jul 1889 Walter Samuel 1894/Jan 1966 Albert 1897. My interest is Walter Samuel 1894/Jan 1966 he married Ada Gibbs born 1895 and they had a daughter Betty Megan Drinkwater 27 Mar 1926/4 Nov 2002 on 31 Mar 1945. She married my 3rd cousin once removed George Maynard Marfell 1925/4 Aug 2005. Although I have extensive information about the Marfell family I learnt more - as usual - from Slowhands from this thread :

George Maynard Marfell & Betty Megan Drinkwater had 7 children, I have details of them all including their marriages & children, which I can share with you if you wish to email me via the envelope icon above.
