My uncle married Nancy, who died in the '40.s. several members of the extended family now live in Australia. regards Carole Whitworth

I am researching the Drakeley family and have had contact with Jane Hunt and Karen Halpen who have done extensive research on the Drakeley's from the Nuneaton area. I am now looking in the Birmingham area. In particular I am searching for the siblings or children or grandchildren of Nance (who became Goodhead), Clara (who became Rose), Thomas (known as Tom) or John (known as Jack). I know that Nance had two sons, Alec and Tommy; Clara had a son called Albert and a daughter called Irene; I'm not sure about Tom; Jack had a daughter called Nancy who died and a daughter known as Ninnie. (Ninnie had a daughter called Pam). My grandmother, Rose Hannah(who became Fenner), had two boys, Ron and Walter, and a daughter called Joan. I would love to hear from anyone related to these people.
