Find Ancestors

Arthur Benjamin Draper c1880 - (possibly) Elenor A.

Children:

Phyllis May ( not Marjorie as we originally thought) Draper c1907 m1936 to Peter Coyne b1906 d 1963.
Isabel Draper c1908
Ella Draper c1909
Arthur Draper c1910
Mary Draper c1911
Rome Draper c1912

Phyllis May Draper was originally from Wales moved to Mitcham England sometime near 1936

What are you looking for and where were they born?

Looking to confirm Arthur's wife's name and any ancestors (either Arthurs or his wife's)

And confirm birth dates of children if possible? and any marriages.

Thanks

And born where? We need more information

Did you get this info off the marriage cert? What was Arthur's occupation?

Unfortunatly that is about all I know. Phyllis May Draper is the only one that I know was born in Wales. But I don't know of the town . I would suppose that the Arthur would have been born in Wales also. As for the other children I would only be able to guess Wales also.

Yes it is. It has Arthur's profession as General Labourer

So how do you know it's Phyllis May & not Phyllis Marjorie?

On the marriage certificate it is listed as May. A few people here did some searches and found a few census that listed a Phyllis Marjorie and we thought that might be correct.

If it helps at all the original post was called "Trying to find more of my fathers family"

What actually helps, Robert, is not starting new threads about something that has already been worked on, and expecting people to go fetch the information for themselves.

Posts can't be found by name. They can be found on a search for content, or gone to directly if you give the URL for them.

Here is a list of threads with the words Peter Coyne in them.

There probably wasn't any need for any more than one thread -- that being the basis of the one thread per topic rule here.

Nobody spends all their time here so as to see every thread posted, and nobody keeps strangers' complicated family stories in their heads so as to recall them from one week to the next.

http://www.genesreunited.co.za/boards.asp?wci=thread&tk=1129977&px=0

is the one Robert is referring to above.

I was told no one looks at old threads, if I dont reply right away they get passed over, so that is why I started a new one. Wasn't trying to cause a problem.

Back to the original question.

Where is the Children info (names and DOBs) coming from? What is "Rome" Draper? Not a name, surely. No birth for that name in the GRO.


You can't identify one of the children's births to order a birth certificate, is that the problem?

The only entry in the GRO for Arthur Benjamin Draper:

Births Jun 1852
DRAPER Arthur Benjamin Walsall 6b 473

An Arthur *George* Draper married (maybe) Eleanor Emma Patterson in 1899 in Medway.

Where is "(possibly) Eleanor A" coming from?

A possible candidate in 1901?

Benjamin Draper 44
Sarah J Draper 44
Sidney C Draper 24
Alfred Draper 15
Clarice Draper 13
> Arthur S Draper 12
Beatrice Draper 8
Theadora E Draper 5 months


Births Jun 1889
Draper Arthur Samuel Cardiff 11a 277


If he married quite young. Father's name Benjamin, he might not have known his own middle name.

All the info I have on sibling is from my dad. Except he can't remember birth dates or anything as he never had contact with his family from 1972 on.

I'm looking for birth dates so that hopefully I can find links through Genesreunited (names alone haven't connected to anyone one else's tree yet). Plus, personally I feel it'll help make the tree more complete.

My dad seems to think that his grand mothers name was Eleanor A something but he's not sure.

Rome is one of the son's names (I'm thinking it was short for Romeo or Roman, but dad said no).

The only births for Rom* Draper:

Births Dec 1913
DRAPER Roma Woolley Derby 7b 1157
Births Sep 1933
Draper Roma D M Webb Saffron W 4a 1327

Girls, of course.

Hi Robert.
Always go to your original thread if you are needing more help. Adjust the title of the original thread by adding ( help still need) or (still looking).

This helps the research and also helps others see what has already been done
It also brings your old thread back to the top of the board
