Research Notes

Burial record found on FreeReg for Thomas Drake, Burial 14th May 1765, recorded as a Batchelor. No Citation link on this site. [[Lyndon-184 23:19, 30 March 2021 (UTC)]]

A secondary source would be helpful, just to confirm it is this Thomas.[[Lyndon-184 23:19, 30 March 2021 (UTC)]]

Found marriages recorded on Ancestry Trees for Thomas Drake married to Elizabeth Barnacle (no source), a source for brother, John Drake married 1733 to Catherine Barnacle^[3]Also found source on Ancestry for marriage 1731 for George Barnacle to Elizabeth Drake, Thomas's sister^[4][[Lyndon-184 23:19, 30 March 2021 (UTC)]]

If it's a case of brothers marrying sisters and vice versa, this could be Thomas, however this would contradict the burial record showing Thomas was a Batchelor, if that is this Thomas.[[Lyndon-184 23:19, 30 March 2021 (UTC)]]
