Name

Ruth Rose Drew, born in 1815 in Bombay, emerges from a historical fog, her early life and her parents, Georges Frederic Drew and Ruth Mary Drew, shrouded in mystery.

In 1840, Ruth married Alexander Porter Grange in Camberwell, London. Alexander was the son of James Grange Esq, a distinguished Senior Clerk at HM Treasury, and Mary Godwin Cameron, daughter of Charles Cameron, an esteemed architect in the service of Catherine the Great of Russia.

In 1850, Alexander and his wife, Ruth, made the bold decision to immigrate to Bruges, Belgium, possibly motivated by a desire to reunite with Alexander's father and start anew in a different land.

Tragically, Ruth's life met its end in Bruges, Belgium, in 1865. She found her final resting place in the Central Cemetery of the city. A year later, in 1866, Alexander followed her into eternity in Bruges.
