Hi Bernie

This article states he died aged 80 years - given George & Marion's age it seems unlikely (impossible) they were having children in the late 1820s!

Australian Town and Country Journal, Wednesday 28 August 1907
OBITUARY.
Mr. Edward Draper, an old resident of the Parkes district, died last week, aged 80 years.

From NLA Trove newspaper site.

Thanks Helen

Will give it a go

Nudge

for any australian posters please

Still no luck

Seems a long time in the 1800s to be married with no children.
Maybe Edward if we have the right family is with an aunt or uncle.

I can see George and Maria on the 1851 with her parents, but they don't appear to have any children.

If they had Edward after that, then where was he in 1861?

Thank you


Have changed heading to

Look ups in OZ

Bernie - keep bumping this thread up as there are some Oz researchers who have access to more records than I do.

Meanwhile, possible children:

Australia Birth Index, 1788-1922
Name: Edward A Draper
Birth Date: 1872
Father's Name: Edward Draper
Mother's Name: Angelina
Birth Place: New South Wales
Registration Year: 1872
Registration Place: Forbes, New South Wales
Registration Number: 9767


Australia Birth Index, 1788-1922
Name: Maria J Draper
Birth Date: 1868
Father's Name: Edward Draper
Mother's Name: Angilina
Birth Place: New South Wales
Registration Year: 1868
Registration Place: Forbes, New South Wales
Registration Number: 12116

Again, no details on 1901:

1901 New South Wales, Australia Census

Name: E Draper
Locality: Deep Lead, Lead's Gully
Sub-District: J
County: Ashburnham
District: Forbes

Now it's 5 males and 4 females

OZ census looks a good bet.
The only way to get close to his birth is to find his age.
Does census give it

Thank you

Bernie

Might be him on 1891 census, given location of death:

1891 New South Wales, Australia Census

Name: Edward Draper
Locality: Parkes
Sub-District: H
County: Ashburnham
District: Forbes

It doesn't give any info like our census regarding residents, ages or occupations. It just says there were 4 males and 5 females in the household.

Love the name of the street - "No Mistake" !!

That's the family

Living in 1851 with Maria parents

No Edward with them in 1861:

Had a request on my local web site eatonbray.com.


I'm looking for the birth of Edward DRAPER whose parents may have been George and Marion. Edward was in Australia before 1867 as he married in Forbes, NSW, Australia in 1867. Died in 1907.

Would he be the son of George and Marian DRAPER who in 1881 (census) were living in Buxton Road Luton, Bedfordshire with children George, Charles, Arthur, Maria and William. All in straw hat making, except William who was a scholar?

Marion in Luton is Maria
Have found the marriage for George & Maria nee Dickens 1846 Luton Beds and gone through census but no Edward.
Have searched free BMD for an Edward Dickens in case he was a surprise for Maria but still nothing.

Thats all I have at the moment.

Again, no age given

Name: Edward Draper

** If you can tell us anything more about "your" Edward Draper then we can see what records we can find?

Do you know where and when he was born, who his parents were etc?

Can I please have a look
up for Australian marriages for Edward Draper.

Married in Forbes NSW 1867.
Again i can only see 1 entry.

Thanks
Bernie

Edit
Looking for his age

Thanks again
