It is sometime since we exchanged information!! I have a roundabout question if you can help.
A friend of mine who is researching Mrs Anna Eliza BRAY (1795-1889) the authoress who lived in Tavistock ,has come across some letters signed we believe by Caroline Southey, the second wife of Robert Southey the poet laureate. They are headed as from Buckland, the date would seem to be about 1840 just before Southey died.
Question. Do you know of any connection betwen the Drake family and a.Robert Southey and/or b. Anna Eliza Bray?

Roger
