Ann Harper. West Bromwich

[Waikiwi]

I am trying to find my Great Grandmothers family.
Her name Ann Harper, married Henry Cooper, in the 1871 census they lived at 53 Temple Street, West Bromwich.  Her age was 37.  In an earlier index their address was Aston Juxta Birmington, Warwick.     Henry and Ann were married in 1859.
They had three children ,  Elizabeth ch in 1861. Mary Ann ch 1862. And George ch 1864.

The family travelled to New Zealand on the 1st July 1876, leaving from Glasgow on the City of Dunedin.    They then travelled to Orepuki, Southland, New Zealand where Ann died in 1900.
I cannot find anything as yet about Elizabeth or Mary Ann. The son George was my Grandfather.  I would like to find more about the Harper family.

Are you looking for Elizabeth and Mary Ann in New Zealand or Ann in England?

 I am trying to find out about Ann Harper who married Henry Cooper on 26th December 1859, in Aston Juxta Birmington, Warwick. 

Also their two daughters, Elizabeth and Mary Ann Cooper. They travelled to New Zealand but at the moment I cannot find anything about them.

From the marriage
Anne’s father was Humphrey Harper. And one of the witnesses was a Maria Harper
Ann was 26 so born about 1833

However, she may have lied about her age...

As an Ann Harper dau of Humphrey and Elizabeth was baptised at Meriden 22 May 1825 (although it is always possible this one died, and a subsequent daughter was given the same name)

Thank you very much, the date of 1833 would be right.   In the 1871 census they were living at 53 Temple Street, West Bromwich.
 How do I go about finding out about Humphrey and the family.  I live in Invercargill, Southland, New Zealand and it seems a shame that Ann Cooper (Harper) seems to have no one but ourselves. We have the Coopers here but no Harpers.
