Hi all
Looking for a birth/ christening for Emma SOPER around 1835, in or around Tarrant Crawford. I believe her father was a Benjamin SOPER.
She married Henry PIKE about May 1860 at Wimborne. A firm date for that wedding would be delightful.
There daughter Emma Louise (my gt-grandmother) was born at Poole in 1872, and the family migrated to South Australia in 1878.
Thanks
