Hi Robin
There may have been a need for labourers in Drayton - is or was their a =
major crop industry? A lot of Ag labourers from different parts of =
Somerset immigrated to Texas, Qld because of a drive by WD & HO Wills =
who were based in Bristol to get workers for their tobacco farms in =
Texas. My great grandfather, Albert Edward Tincknell was one of them.
regards
Lyn

Dear Joe,=20
Apologies for the delay in replying. Am at the Gold Coast myself so =
could meet at Drayton? There appear to be a lot of connections between =
Somerset and Drayton. Am wondering why. Were the Qld agents particularly =
busy in Somerset? Was Somerset badly hit by poverty? Were there personal =
connections of some sort? Have just come across a Gore from Somerset in =
a possible connection too but know no more than the name - Sarah Gore. =
Will look into it.=20
Does your collection of material include info on others in Drayton =
at that time? Am trying to build a picture - literally with a map and =
photos - of the town area then. Cannot see that it has already been done =
- not in my researches to date anyway. Thanks, Joe. Will be in touch =
again,soon.
