Hi Janette, many thanks for your reply. The Cooper family arrived in NZ in 1876, leaving from Glasgow on the 1st July.
Father was Henry Cooper , Mother was Ann (Harper)
Daughter Elizabeth Cooper.
Daughter Mary Ann Cooper
Son George Cooper.
I cannot find out where they went when they arrived in NZ, but I can only find that George and his Father and Mother went to Orepuki in 1886 or earlier to be miners.
No sign of the two sisters, but I have found out that Robert Cooper (Father of Henry) left for New Zealand with his youngest son Edward, on the ship Lady Jocelyn. No idea of the date but they they travelled to Australia. Also miners. I hope this is a start for you, I have looked at the census here in NZ but no sign of the two girls . Kind regards, Dulcie.
