Title: Suffragette Lily,Lillie,Lillian Draper from Halifax 1907
Post by: woodydog on Monday 23 April 18 21:00 BST (UK)
Hello all :) It's been ages since I've posted or helped other folks out but can anyone track the following lass ? I've got very sketchy details but here goes :- Lily Draper is listed as being arrested in March 1907 with around 70 other women when they tried to burst into the Houses of Parliament. In some newspaper articles she's listed as MRS Lily Draper in others Lillie and also Lillian on find my past. She is listed as being  24 years of age and living at Penn Street, Halifax ( March 1907) . I've searched and searched, looking upside, downside and inside outside to find her. Can anyone help? If anyone can then I know you lovely bunch can.. xx P.S. She was arrested at the same time as Dinah Connelly (Halifax) and the now well known Dora Thewlis (Huddersfield)
