Hello - There is a marriage (on FreeBMD) in 1918 at East Ward in Westmorland between Robert H Draper and Margaret Holme so if them it looks like they emigrated after that.

Thank you very much for your post.
I now know that the Drapers returned to the UK where a child, May Draper, was still-born in Aprl 1932 at Manchester.
What is puzzling me is that the address given for the family is Davis Yard, Sedbergh, Yorkshire.
Does anybody know why the birth was at St Mary's Hospital in Manchester, so far from Sedbergh?
I am grateful for any information at all.
Thank you.

Dear Family Detective
That amount of information is amazing.
Thank you very much.
I will study the Passenger Information first of all.
I have found that the still-born child May Draper is buried in the same grave as her mother Margaret Draper nee Holmes in Southern Cemetery, Manchester.
Margaret Draper nee Holmes died 3rd October 1936 at 62 Lingard Street, Moss Side, Manchester, so your information confirms the reason for that address, and I am most grateful to you.
Kindest regards, John.
