His friend Arthur Conan Doyle gave the collection of short stories called "The Captain of the Polestar" to him as a gift. He was born on April 17, 1827, into a big family. His father, William Drayson, worked at the Royal Gunpowder Factory and was Clerk of the Works there in 1832. His mother, Ann Marie, was also a worker there. He was younger brother of author Caroline Agnes Drayson and brother-in-law of author John Richardson, who married the second daughter, Maria Caroline. He was born at Waltham Abbey, which was also where the factory was based. Louisa Burdon Ellis was another sister who married Samuel Burdon Ellis and had a child with him. Helen Matilda, the fourth daughter who lived, married Charles Davies in 1848. Emily (1811-1894), who married Woolwich Dockyard worker William Woods (died 1856), was another sister.
