Hi Bev; Sorry about the delay in my replay, but, busy as usual! In the Durham County Marriage Registers - 1858 - 1869, I found the following: Franklin SOPER, 22, of Cornwall, born CW, s/o Harvey and Jane, married Aug 1, 1865 to Mary Jane DRAPER, 19, of Bowmanville, born, CE, d/o James and Olivia In the Surrogate Court Index for Northumberland and Durham Counties - 1859-1900, I found: DRAPER, James of Darlington - #243, 1864 > Harvey was my ggrandfather---I have some data on some of the other > sons but very little on the daughters. Have you run across any material in > your search? There are quite a few listings in the Durham County Newspaper Index - regarding Harvey: DRAPER, Harvey of Bowmanville - daughter Maggie died on Feb 10, 1906 in Brandon, Manitoba, aged 47 years DRAPER, Harvey - sold his house in Bowmanville, Sep 17, 1868 Hope that this might be of some help to you.
