Member Since: October 2004 Posts: 458 Send Message	Margaret Dryden married Harry Draper 15 /02/1882 in St Andrews Church Grimsby her father was John a deceased shoemaker. It looks like Margaret had two children before marriage. You have Williams marriage. already From BIVR DRYDEN, Margaret Christening 1867 Engl Linc Caistor Fa: Mo: Margaret Dryden DRYDEN, William Christening 1867 Engl Linc Caisto Fa: Mo: Margaret Dryden Sheila

	I only use Ancestry and Family Search. Find most things with these.
Member Since: March 2006 Posts: 29,359 Send Message	Mel Fairy Godmother	Report	10 Mar 2010 12:26
	Well I can't find a Harry Draper with a wife Margaret. I can find one George with a wife Mary Ann in Caistor Lincs. It looks like it could be a second marriage by the ages of the children. So perhaps the person she married was Harry Draper. 1891 England Census about George Green Name: George Green Age: 42 Estimated birth year: abt 1849 Relation: Head Spouse's name: Mary Ann Gender: Male Where born: Caistor, Lincolnshire, England Civil parish: Ordsall Ecclesiastical parish: Ordsall Town: Elksley County/Island: Nottinghamshire Country: England Street Address: Occupation: Condition as to marriage: Education: Employment status: View image Registration district: East Retford Sub-registration district: East Retford ED, institution, or vessel: 14 Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age George Green 42 Mary Ann Green 36 George Henry Green 15 Wallace Green 13 Arthur Green 10 Fred K Wm Green 8 Kate Green 6 Wellie Green 3 Leonard Green 1 Edith Mary Green 4/12
