Drewing conclusions

Writing about the two Frederick Lewis Drews has cleared my mind - so much that  I now favour a third Frederick, born in Canterbury in January or October 1830, given a medical discharge from the 64th Regiment of Foot in 1856.

His army discharge papers describe him as a carpenter. The army background fits with becoming a civil guard at a convict prison. The 64th Foot were in India in 1851, so this explains his absence from the 1851 census.

There is a moral there somewhere, so I won't jump to any conclusions!
