I am trying to find any information on the father of Emmanuel Drew (born 1851). Emmanuel's mother was Alice Drew (born 1831) and was not married at the time so Emmanuel was given the Drew surname.

Would anyone have any information about this??

Thank you.

Assuming nothing is on his birth cert

Name: Emmanuel Drew
Date of registration: Oct-Nov-Dec 1851
Registration district: Westbury on Severn
Inferred County: Gloucestershire
Volume: 11
Page: 490

and George Edwards is not the father

1861
George Edwards abt 1820 Awre, Gloucestershire, England Head East Dean, Gloucestershire
Alice Edwards abt 1830 East Dean, Gloucestershire, England Wife East Dean, Gloucestershire
Emmanuel Edwards abt 1852 East Dean, Gloucestershire, England Son East Dean, Gloucestershire
Jane Edwards abt 1855 East Dean, Gloucestershire, England Daughter East Dean, Gloucestershire
Emily Edwards abt 1858 East Dean, Gloucestershire, England Daughter East Dean, Gloucestershire
George Edwards abt 1860 East Dean, Gloucestershire, England Son East Dean, Gloucestershire

Then

You might be lucky and find a Bastardy Order/ Bond if the father acknowledged his son - however my experience is that this is often the "end of the tree"
