I am looking for information about my grandfather Henry Drakeley. I believe
he was born in London England in 1893 and was killed in Belgium or France
1918 during WW 1. I think he worked as a yardman in Clocaenog Denbighshire.
Wales in 1901. I believe he traveled to Canada and married my grand mother
Alice Dobbs in Winnipeg Canada. My father was born in Winnipeg in 1917.
His name was also Henry Drakeley. From what my father told me, my
grandfather went back to England from Canada and joined the British army and
was killed in 1918.

Hi Hywyn,
WOW! THANKS :) for finding my family in the 1851 census. I do wish to

and daugther, Jane PARRY (d 1853) are buried at Macpellah Cemetery,
Deiniolen ( a nearby village then known as Ebenezer). Their address is
the Cae'r Foel, Dinorwig.
Your help is greatly appreciated!
THANKS again,
