Answer 2

Thomas Drewery born 1821 - 1859 Druggist and Chemist from Hull - exile to Melbourne and given a free pardon ( National Archves Kew has documents on Thomas not available online)

My research has shown his father was Thomas (Stonemason) and his grandfather was Richard Wilkin Drewery.

THere are newspaper reports on THomas between 1840-1850

You can access the newspapers using websiteTrove or British Library newspaper collection
