Robert and Jane married 20 March 1815 at Blackburn, Lancashire. England. Robert was allotted a grant of land at Fremantle (Lots 265 and 267) and lived there building houses and boats. Alice and Annie attended the Fremantle Colonial School. After eleven years Robert decided to follow Ensign Dale's trail to York where he was allotted 100 acres and built a stone house called 'The Rocks'. Later he acquired a large property on the opposite side of the road where he built a large two storey house called 'Westbourne' with the help of ticket-of-leave men. All the bricks were made on the property and it cost one thousand pounds. It also had a two storeyed mill shed, blacksmith shop, cowshed and stables. Robert also built a fort for the safety of his family from any disturbance from the natives. Jane died 6 January 1863 and Robert died 4 July 1863 at Beverley. The homestead and property are still owned today by descendants of the Draper family after six generations.
