Family of Thomas Pope 1855-May 3 1927 and Laura Maria Weller 1859-Feb 13,19

[mcadamsd]

Looking for information for the family of Thomas Pope and  Laura Maria Weller  who married May 26,1880 in Gympie, Queensland, Australia.

I do not have his arrival date.  Thomas was baptized August 12, 1855 Brushford Devon and was son of William Pope and Ann Lyne(Line).  Both parents stayed in England until Ann's death when Thomas came to Canada

Laura was born APR 1859  Wolverhampton, Staffordshire, England and daughter of Edwin David Weller and Helen Ellen Weller(no maiden name).  Both her parents appear to have moved to Australia and passed in or around Gympie, Queensland, Australia.  Weller arrival was possibly via The Empress of the Seas that left Gravesend on June 18, 1865  and arrived in Keppel bay on September 24, 1865.

We believe there were the following children of Thomas and Laura

Laura Ann Pope 1882–
   
Ethel May Pope 1884–
   
Emily Weller Pope 1885–1956
   
Henry William Thomas Pope 1887–
   
Samuel David Pope 1889–1960
   
Elizabeth Pope 1891– May have married John Samuel Eaton
   
Julia Maud Pope 1894– Married Frederick Voltaire Lewis
   
Alice Grace Pope 1896–
   
John James Pope 1897–
   
Harold Albert Pope 1900– Poosibly passed 1989
   
Leonard George Pope 1903–1976
 
Those with a death date have had some detail added but most with only a birth date are a bit of a mystery
