E.G.Drew, the third of that name

Some idle Google searching led me last night to the Mylor-Flushing On-line Parish Clerk web page.

There, I found some DREW names amongst the various transcription, and some of them were "ours". Of particular interest was the marriage of Edward George DREW and Jane SANDERS on 27 April 1887, in Mylor. So, there's another name filled in! Going back to FreeBMD, Jane SANDERS is there as:
Marriages Jun 1887
Sanders Jane Falmouth 5c 277
but no sign of Edward George.

Moving on, I also found the baptism of the daughter, Irene Jane, even though she is recorded as Eileen Jane, on 17 July 1889.

Also found were the baptisms of Mary Elizabeth's children, Hester Ann and Frederic(k) in the C of E Baptisms, not the Wesleyan, where Mary Elizabeth herself was baptised.

The marriage of James Henry DREW to Esther Jane SPARGO is there, too, but as John Henry DREW.

Also, the baptisms pages show that when searching for information about the siblings of Mary Ann and their descendants, you need to be aware that the surname can be spelled REID, REED, or READ. Makes life interesting, at the very least.
