Hi.
Wonder if a new set of eyes might be able to help me..
When we had a taster of the 1911 census before it came out I found my grandad. Baden Powell Drew b. May 1900 in Grimstone Norfolk....I found him with a relation A Chilvers and his name and sisters were under Chilvers too, But now I cannot find them... both his parents had died by 1911.. it's a blinking mystery..

Thanks Pat

I'm not 100% convinced about that 1911, I thought the Baden Powell Chilvers on there might be this birth:

England & Wales, FreeBMD Birth Index, 1837-1915
Name: Robert Baden Chilvers
Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1900
Registration district: Norwich

Which would be this 1901 (there is a brother James of the right age)

CHILVERS, Elizabeth Wife Married F 35 1866 Norwich, Norfolk
CHILVERS, Florence Daughter Single F 16 1885 Boot Makers Clerk Norwich, Norfolk

I can't see an appropriate birth for a Hagan Drew..........but there is one for a Hagar Drew which fits with the birth entry of Baden....


Births Jun 1896 (>99%)
Drew Hagar Freebridge L. 4b 309

Births Sep 1900 (>99%)
Drew Baden Powell Freebridge L. 4b 287


If as you say she is with her brother in the 1911.........this can't be her then........

This is the 1891 for the Chilvers family from the 1911 & 1901 already posted.

CHILVERS, Richard Head Married M 28 1863 General Labourer Norwich, Norfolk
CHILVERS, Elizabeth Wife Married F 25 1866 Norwich, Norfolk
CHILVERS, Florence Daughter F 6 1885 Scholar Norwich, Norfolk

Registration District: Norwich

There's continuity with the family through the three census so I don't think that Baden Chilvers and Baden Drew are the same person. There IS an Alice Chilvers on the 1901 with the Drews so there must be a connection somehow.

Hi,
Sorry ....

Marie Celeste...yes thats grandads death in Ely..
Barbara yes thats the Alice he was with when I saw the taster census...

Christina I thought I saw her on 1911 but that looks like her will need to get to records office to see who the parents were. and perhaps see if they have census returns
Can't believe he is so hard to find...

Thankyou all so much for you time.
