I have on the 1861 census RG9 Piece 542 Folio 66 Page 21
Robert Drake, Head, Widower, 63 Ag Lab, Kent Eythorne
William D Drake, Grandson, Unm, 11, Ag Lab, Kent Eythorne
As far as I can tell, Robert is this one from the 1851 census HO107 Piece 1631 Folio 488 Page 12
with wife Elizabeth and children Susanna, Margaret and Henry
and in 1841 HO107 Piece 466 Book 10 Folio 6 Page 6
with Elizabeth and children Robert, Ann, John, Richard, Mary and Margaret
Now my question. Who is William, the grandson in 1861?
I can't find any likely candidates in 1851, and the only birth that remotely fits (William David Drake Dec 1849 Ashford W vol 5 page 17) isn't really the right area and there is a William David Drake living with his parents William and Eliza RG9 Piece 529 Folio 161 Page 69. I have no evidence that Robert had a son William.
