Research Notes
The 1861 census states that Sarah Cartwright is Richard Drewry's stepmother and Samuel Cartwright his stepbrother. This should probably be mother-in-law and brother-in-law.
1871 Census lists Mary A Drew, 1 year old. This is probably Sarah Ann whose name was incorrectly written down by the returns officer.
1881 Census Ellen is written as Helen.
Caroline Drew has been added as a child by the profile manager, however no record can be found of this child at the UK General Register Office (Coombes-796 - 11 December 2021)
The 1911 census return states that Richard and Rachel had been married for 53 years and had 7 children.
