As can be seen above from the baptismal entry from the parish records of St. Andrews, Enfield, Henry Draper, the elder of Jane Draper's two brothers, was born at Chase Side, Enfield, on June 16, 1813.
Like his father David Draper, Henry became a cordwainer/ shoemaker. He married very late in life, at the age of 52. Up until that point, we can follow him through the census returns:
