From Donna Kells Davies email of February 1, 2004:
The 1886 death of Mary DRINKEL seems to explain the story I have been told about my grandmother Susan - that she was keeping house for her father, John, and was not allowed to leave that home and live with my grandfather (her husband) - John Francis KELLS - born April 5, 1870 - until she was expecting their second child (my father, Cecil Clifford - born April 20, 1902.) She had already had Ethel born June 26, 1896. John KELLS and Susan DRINKILL were married on June 22, 1896 by James Rollins. The witnesses were John Kells and Mrs. Wm. Mayne (Hannah). He was living in Wyebridge and she in Waverley.
