Looking for relatives or descendants of Joseph Draper born in England approx 1858-59 Family lore says Hertfordshire, but that isn't certain. Immigrated to New Zealand and married about 1881 in Auckland, to Rosa McGhan from County Caven Ireland...
Also my Grandfather John William Thurlow, who has proved to be very elusive to trace He was born in England in 1869, and became a seaman, he jumped ship sometime in the latter part of the century, He met and married Agnes Mary Draper the daughter of Joseph Draper. Sure would love it anyone can help me out, these are my solid brick walls so far.
Sincere Regards, Gloria.
