Annie Draper nee Blake

Mary Report 22 Jul 2011 14:07

I am trying to trace ANnie Draper nee Blake. She married Charles Henry Draper in Jan 1882 at Charlnury/ Chipping Norton Oxon. They where both residences of Charlbury at the time, the Drapers having lived there for sometime. She was classed as a cook/housekeeper of full age, her father was Edmund Henry Blake deceased and I belief he was a butler.
They had a son in 1882 called William Henry , Charles then died in 1890. I have found William on the 1891 cenus living in Alfred st Southampton classed as nephew so I assume Annie comes from here, but I can't find her birth of her father's also no sign on census.
Any one got any clues where I can now look.
Cheers
Mary

K Report 22 Jul 2011 16:35

Sorry - called away by visitors - There is a tree on Ancestry that lists Henry Blake that Vera posted in 1841 as having son Edmund Henry Blake that Vera posted earlier I think(his marriage). As Henry's father is also listed as Edmund so maybe Henry also started out at Edmund Henry?

The tree also lists the following children as the children of Henry -

Edmund Henry Blake
1834 – 1895
Mary Ann Blake
1836 –
William Blake
1838 –
Eliza Blake
1842 –
Charles Blake
1844 – 1872
Thirza Blake
1845 – 1858
Emma Blake
1846 –
Olive Blake
1848 –
Anna Blake
1854 –

I do wonder if Anna became Annie as below in 1881 where there is an Annie working as a cook. I believe Annie was listed as a cook when she married in 1882
