Foreword.
John, Just a quick note to say how much I enjoyed your Thrybergh website. I am related to the Drabbles in Thrybergh through my great-great-great grandfather Robert Drabble, who was the brother of Mollie Uttley's great-grandfather Charles. I thought you may be interested in some more details about the history of the Drabbles before they came to Thrybergh for your site.

Charles Drabble who was born about 1839 was the son of Joseph Drabble and his wife Rebecca (nee Newsome), who were married in Braithwell in 1825. Charles' siblings were Elizabeth born 1828, Robert born 1830 , George born 1833, who were all born in Maltby. The youngest sister was Emma who was born in 1836 at Attercliffe, Sheffield.

The family were found next on the1841 census of Maltby, Rotherham HO107/1332/3
Joseph Drabwell Male 38 Yorkshire agricultural labourer
Rebecca Drabwell Female 37 Yorkshire
George Drabwell Male 8 Yorkshire

Charles Rawson servant U Male 11 Lincolnshire servant in husbandry

Charles worked on the property of George Bell, who lived next to his parents. I think the Elizabeth Spencer living with Joseph and Rebecca was their granddaughter, the daughter of Charles and his soon to be wife, Mary Spencer
