Notes
- The family of Bartholomew DRAKE moved from North Tawton to Torquay in the mid 1860's and Elias DRAKE (a carpenter) took his family to Turnpike Lane, London in 1881 during the huge construction phase associated with the Industrial Revolution. Henry BATE (Emma's brother) and his family were in the same part of London during the 1881 census. In 1883 the DRAKE family moved back to Torquay, and following the death of his father in the same year, Elias and his family, along with Henry BATE's family emigrated to Hobart, Tasmania on the SS "Cape Clear". The DRAKE family later had a short spell in Ballarat, Victoria before they moved back to Tasmania and then on to Invercargill, New Zealand in 1892. They finally settled in North East Valley, Dunedin around 1894.
