Sex:
Male
Father:
Mother:
Birth:
4 Sep 1824
Address: Paradise Row
The 1851 Census gives his birth place as Chelsea and the baptismal record confirms this and also gives his date of birth and where his parents were living.
In 1824 Chelsea was an 'up market' village favoured by the well to do and artists does not fit the usual pattern associated with the Drew family. However, the baptismal records for his parents other children show that they moved from Kings Lynn in Norfolk to Islington sometime between the birth of their daughter Hannah in March 1820 and the birth of their son Henry in September 1826 so it is possible that his father Edward who was a sawyer moved to Chelsea because of the speculative building which took place in the late 1700s and early 1800s.
Baptism:
24 Oct 1824 (age 0)
St Luke's Church5
Address: Chelsea, Middlesex
It is assumed that as both his parents were shown in theregister they were present. The church obviously served a wide range of social classes. The occupations shown in the register included various trades, gentlemen, a soldier from the Life Guards and a Chinaman!
Occupation:
frm 1836 to 1856 (age 11-32)
In the 1841 Census he is shown as a sawyer at the age of 15. It is assumed that he started work at the age of 12 (his younger brother Henry who is 14 is also employed as a sawyer as was his father). He was still working as a sawyer when he married in 1844 and at the time of the 1851 Census. However, sometime between the 1851 and 1861 Censuses he became a chair maker.
