Hi again

Here are a few thoughts

In 1881 Census, Caroline Sleeper with family of Charles O. Swanson in Compton.
From hitory of Compton, Charles O. Swanson married Ella C. Draper, daughter of B.J. Draper. So I guess Caroline was living with her sister at that time.


B.J. probably stands for Benjamin and Jacob. I saw Jacob in Family Search and Benjamin in World Connect.
Go see the following site of Lani in WorldConnect, you will find Caroline Draper's parents and Benjamin Sleeper's family who his probably Jonathan's father. Lani seems to have stopped her search mostly after the families moved to Canada.

Also the Cochrane Sleeper Cemetery confirms the Sleeper's death and the Sewell surname (Jonathan Sewell Sleeper).

Just a little note: Do you think the Badgee stands for Badger (known family in the area).

If all those explanations are not clear, you can always contact me by e-mail and I will try to make sense of it.
