- We have nothing on Drusilla as of August 1, 1998.
08/25/00----Determined today that Drusilla was born on July 25, 1764 fr om a listing of christening's from the Sancal Magna parish records that I h ave kept. This had been missed before and was originally listed as unk nown date of birth. This is a good time to point out that the day of c hristening only gives you an approximate date of birth. The actual dat e of birth can be quite a bit different depending on if the church reco rder was around when the christening was taking place or if the church r ecorder may have been ill or out of town at the time of the christening a s well as if the family traveled to the church soon after birth to regi ster the new child. I can imagine if it was winter, the family may not h ave made the trip right away to register the child. Also, it is known t hat long after the English law to register births, deaths and marriages v ia the church, many people believed this would just be another way of t axation and they did not believe in registering the children...so, in m any cases, they simply didn't.
