I descend from another Draper branch that were blacksmiths in this little Leicestershire market town in the 18th and 19th centuries and I've been doing a bit of a one-name study to try to connect up various different families of this name in the area. This Thomas Draper doesn't connect into my tree yet, but perhaps by sharing this research, someone might come along and help me solve the people puzzle. Be sure to get in touch if you can, or just enjoy the research!
If you are a descendant of Thomas Draper [1800-1878], baker and freeholder of Castle Donington, then you are in luck. I've chosen him as a case study to illustrate the sort of research reports and charts that you can expect to receive from Kindred Ancestry. You can read all about him and follow links to the research via the Drapers of Castle Donington page (also found under the 'More' option on the tab bar above.)

This is a great story and I just wish I had Drapers in my family tree! Isn't it interesting when you see a name and a trade or profession running through a family? I found I had three generations of the same family working in biscuit manufacturing in Reading. Perhaps that's where I get my sweet tooth? Thank you for such an interesting post.
