The Draper Family
Link
I am unsure when and where James
Draper
was born.
James
Draper
married Ann Stevens on 1st
April 1828 at St. Peters & Pauls
church, Market Overton, Rutland. James is of the parish of East Stoke in the
county of Nottingham and Ann is of
the parish of Market Overton. One of the witnesse's is Mary Stevens, Ann’s
sister.
When
I looked through the parish records of East Stoke I could not find any record
of James
being born there?
Children of James and Ann
1. James.......
is baptised at St. Peters & Pauls church, Market Overton on the 17th
August 1828.
James occupation is Servant.
In
the 1841 Census James Draper (12) is living in
Market Overton, Rutland with his Granddad Richard
Stevens (60). Richards’s occupation
is Shoe Marker.
In
the 1851 Census James Draper (22) is still living
in Market Overton, Rutland with his Granddad Richard Stevens (74). Richards’s
occupation is Shoe Marker and James’ is Agricultural Labourer.
I
have not been able to find any more records on what happened to James and Ann except James is mentioned on the
recording of his son’s wedding.
James
Draper
married Eliza King on 14th
February 1853 at St. Peters &
Pauls church, Market Overton, Rutland.
At
the time of their marriage James is residing at Market Overton and Eliza at Stretton, Rutland.
James occupation is
Labourer.
James father is James Draper
and his occupation is Gent. Servant.
Eliza’s father is John King his occupation is Tailor.
Down
as witnesses are Hannah Naylor (Eliza’s sister) and Gen. Smiths.

In
the 1861 Census James Draper (32) and Eliza (30) are living at a Private
House, Oakham. They have
three children living with them, John (7), James (5) and George (1).
James occupation is

Eliza is down as being
born in Bytham, Lincolnshire in 1831.

in the district of Oakham in 1866 (Sep.
7a242) 7. Beatrice S…….
birth registered in the district of Oakham in 1867 (Sep. 7a 255)
I
came across an entry in the death register of March 1871 of a Eliza Draper
who died aged 38 in the district of Oakham (7a
113).
In
the 1871 census James Draper (42) is living at
The Hall, Oakham. He is a widower and has five children
living with him, George (11), William (9), Harry R (6), David (4) and Beatrice S (3).
Also
living with them is Elizabeth Draper
(23), her occupation and relationship to the head of household (James)
is House Keeper. She is registered as being born in Greetham, Rutland.

the children are down as being born in Market Overton.

(28), John’s wife Elizabeth* (28), and their five

James is down as having
no occupation, Harry
R and David are Finishers
(Shoe) and John is a Labourer.
All
John’s children along with Elizabeth are down as being born in Greetham,
Rutland.
*Is Elizabeth the same Elizabeth who is down as housekeeper in the 1871 census?
Both
are registered as being born in Greetham, but there is a difference in age? I think
she is their oldest daughter Sarah
was born in 1870, making John a father at 16. But saying that Sarah does not appear in the 1871 census with Elizabeth?
John married Elizabeth Glenn in 1872 which points to the fact that they are the same person as I
found a Elizabeth Glenn in the 1861 census, who is 12 years old and
was born in Greetham in1849,
this
tallie's up with her age of 23 in the 1871 census.
Also
her father’s name was William, the
name their gave to their oldest son.
I
