Hi there
I have a George Drever christened 25/1/1838 in Westray, parents were John Drever and Margaret Drever.
Two very good sites are

http://tilley.dynodns.net:8000/ This site gives you OPR births aswell as census for Westray. Well worth a visit.
the other site is
www.cursiter.com again very good.

I checked the census for Stromness for 1841/1851/61 and I couldn't see an entry for the name Drever
