Thanks very much Alma, must admit I've had real problem sifting through all the Browns! I did see the 1871 census with James but discounted it thinking I'd got the wrong person but looking at it more closely it's definitely them. I also found the 1861 census and the births of the children that you referenced above but can't see the Draper name mentioned.

I use the GRO site in combination with FreeBMD. The GRO lists MMN, when MMN is left blank it usually means an illegitimate birth.
You need to register with the GRO which is free. Once registered and logged in scroll to "
Search the GRO Indexes" click on "birth" and fill in the necessary boxes
