I've seen the link Lyn, but it doesn't help with finding the book. But thank you for mentioning it.

Is "A Journey Through the History of Stockland by Bryan Drew" a different book?

 

[Strawberry Hunter]

Yes. It is.

 

[Strawberry Hunter]

Odd isn't it how it's nowhere. Perhaps there were only a certain amount published as it was a family history publication?

 

[Pedrocut]

Brian Drew may be the Publisher and not the author.
There is another book concerning the men of Stockland during the Great War.

There's a Parish Councillor in Stockland, Devon by the name of Bryan Drew. His email address is online. Could he be the author? Very probably so. Why not try contacting him?

I found him as well and think he might be an ex history teacher.

 

[Strawberry Hunter]

Bryan Drew definitely wrote the book.

I have sent an email to him, thanks.

 

[Strawberry Hunter]

Arh, ex history teacher? That's interesting. What leads you to think that?

 

[pjmburns]

When I googled his name it came up linked to a retired history teacher and someone interested in local politics but I couldn't tell if it was the right person or not.

 

[Strawberry Hunter]

OK, thanks. I will post as soon as he responds to my email. Thanks for looking everyone. I'm sure you will let me know if you do find the book

 

[Strawberry Hunter]

I had a response from Bryan. He doesn't have any copies of the book but he said he will let me know if he gets any.

Did you manage to get a copy of this book - took me ages but I eventually sourced a copy - it is very interesting if you are a Strawbridge - my ancestors, grandparents and Aunts and Uncles are in it - wish there was an updated version to cover last twenty years

 

[Strawberry Hunter]

Hi, no I didn't get a copy. Where did you get your copy from? Thanks for posting x

 

[sylvia Butcher]

[Strawberry Hunter]
