The parents of George in 1803 at Alvington : were James & Mary DREW....

The children of James & Mary DREW start at Alvington in 1791....

There are 3 baptisms of children of a * James & Mary DREW at Lydney - (which I think is Littledean) could be the same couple....

William DREW 2 Oct 1785 (2 family names of George DREW)
James DREW 16 Sept 1787
Thomas DREW 9 Aug 1789 *

----

The Church of Latter Day Saints have a marriage at Lydney - 7 October 1784, James DREW and Mary HOLMS - can't see this on FOD records. However, this is on Public Members Tree on Ancestry - and as regards James DREW's death on the 3 March 1838 at Alvington - this is quoted....

'James died of old age, at about 6 o'clock in the morning, the death certificate is very explict, Son, Somerset DREW, a Labourer of Aylburton was in attendance during his last illness. Maybe his wife Mary had gone before him'

Looking at this Public Members Tree, this will probably discount George DREW 1803 Alvington as your line - .....

George and his wife Elizabeth - (no record of marriage found) - had 3 children: John, 1827, George 1829, and William 1837 - and are on the 1841/1851/1861/1871 census Tidenham. George DREW died 30 October 1872 at Rosemary Lane, Tidenham, from Heart Disease and Dropsy.
