#Gipsies Roll of Honour World War One

Private Kisby Draper is mentioned as the son of Mr. Kisby Draper in the papers, he was in hospital in Micham with wounds in December 1917.

So we will put him on the Gipsies Roll of Honour, well done Mel, I have been looking for more of his families, I came across names that may be related or connected in some way, some may be wrong and I may have made a few mistakes in my writings but this is what I found, remember to sign up to the British Newspaper Archives, all i put on is only a guide if they are relatives you will find more in the fuller articles than the extracs i do, and remember to go on the links that Mel put on, on there you will find many census reports and information about the Drapers

READING. A GIPSY AT SHINFIELD.—The Daily Mail of Monday last gave an account of a visit paid to the cottage of the aged gipsy named Draper. who is still living in a dilapidated cottage at Whitley Wood, Shinfield, and who is described as a Berkshire patriarch nearing his 104th birthday. The old man will, it appears, attain the remarkable age of 104 years if he lives till next June. With old Gipsy Draper lives a son who is now 83 years of age, and who looks after his father, and the latter still calls him his boy. The poor old man has nearly, if not entirely, lost the sight of both eyes ; and when the representative of the Daily Mail visited the cottage he writes:— The old man lay drowsing in a heap on a couch of sacking. He was fully dressed, and wearing an old cap on his heed, and a couple of old coats were thrown over him.The writer thus further describes the poor old man— His hair was greyer and thinner, his skin more waxen, his nose more hooked than his 83 yeare old son ; and his sightless eyes were like pits. On the arrival of the visitor the aged son got his father up from off the sacking couch and dropped him in a chair by the fire, where the old man answered several questions which were put to him about things and events when he was young. and when the country, he said, was much better off. The Daily Mail representative further remarks — The Drapers during the past
quarter of a century have settled down in a bit of a four-roomed, redbrick cottage at Shinfield, behind a scraggy hedge of elder bushes. Before that they lived in tents as gipsies.
