Hi Emma
Having checked my Draper database, it looks like your Spencer Draper was the first cousin of a Nelson Draper. That Nelson was the father of the man in the photo. So you are definitely related to him.

Thanks Sharon,
It is wonderful to see photos of people you are related to.
I am trying to figure out the relationships.
My Spenser Draper was born 1824 • Husborne Crawley, Bedfordshire, England and died Mar 1901 • Newport Pagnell, Buckinghamshire, England
He had children with Jane Webb.
His children were:
Eliza Draper Miss(1850–1925)
1850 • Bow Brickhill, Buckinghamshire, England
Aaron Draper Mr(1852–1944)
1852 • Bicester, Oxfordshire, England
Eli/Edmund Draper(1854–1906)
1854 • Salford, Bedfordshire, England
Mary Ann Draper(1857–1937)
1857 • Piddington, Buckinghamshire, England
Nelson Draper Smith Mr(1859–1939)
1859 • Stoke, Buckinghamshire, England
His parents were:
William (Billy) Draper 05 Feb 1803 • Moulsoe, Buckinghamshire, England. DEATH 1874 • Woburn Sands, Buckinghamshire, England
Mary Cotchin Birth abt 1805 • Ridgmont, Bedfordshire, England. Death 1874 • Woburn Sands, Buckinghamshire, England
His Siblings were:
Eleanor Draper(1823–1901) 1823 • Sherington, Buckinghamshire, England
William Draper(1833–) abt 1833 • Newport Pagnell, Buckinghamshire, England
Kisby Draper(1834–1925) 9 Nov 1834 • Aspley Guise, Bedfordshire, England
Darnitty Draper(1837–1877) 1837 • hogsty end, Woburn Sands, Buckinghamshire, England
Alexander (Ellick/Alec) Draper(1837–1896) 1837 • Westerham, Kent, England
If Isreal Draper Parker's father Nelson was a first cousin of Spenser's then I am guessing that Nelson was a son of William (Billy) Draper's brother or sister.
The only siblings I have for William (Billy) Draper are:
Israel Draper(1807–) 1807 • Newton, Buckinghamshire, England
Samuel Draper(1808–)
I can't find anything out about Samuel so he must be wrong. I have the following information for Isreal:
Baptism Newton-Blossomville, Buckingham, England, parents William Draper and Eleanor.
He may have had a relationship with someone called Louisa and had a son called Levi and he may have married a Rebecca Clare in 1844 but I can't find any children.
Perhaps Isreal had a son called Nelson who was the father of Isreal in the picture or perhaps William (Billy) Draper had another Sibling I don't know about who is the father of Nelson?
William (Billy) Draper, Isreal Draper and Samuel Draper's parents were William who died in Woburn Sands 1834 and Eleanor who died in 1838.
Do you know who Nelson's father was please so that I can tie Nelson, Isreal Draper/Parker and my Spenser Draper together?
Sorry to ask but I get so confused with putting things together for the early Drapers!
Best wishes,
Emma
