James was the eldest of five full siblings and three half siblings to his step mother Eliza Craigie. AND Isabella Cameron Drever, b. abt 1828/29 in Westray, Orkney, Scotland to parents John Drever and Helen or Nellie Scollay. Isabella had a number of younger siblings. James and Isabella married in Orkney on 30th October 1852, and migrated to Australia in 1853, arriving in Victoria in June 1853 aboard the Sea, before settling in South Australia. They had four children, all born in Queenstown, South Australia. James b 1855, John Alexander Drever b 1858, William Tulloch b 1861 and Jemima Whitford b 1863. James 1831 died at Port Adelaide 24th September 1862. Isabella remarried in 1872, to William Jones. She died a year later at Unley on 26th December 1873.
