Hello Marie. So good to hear from another member of the Harper Family.As you may be aware my interest is throughAnn(Couper) Harper's brother William. William Harper was my great great grandfather. My great grandfather James Mitchell Harper was the cousin of Donald.I have picked up a bit of information on the Coupers as I have been researching my branch and have general birth, marriage, death and burial info.Anything you can add would be much appreciated.Re the members of the family I have Ann b 3rd Oct 1868 Rosewater d 6 Nov 1868 at Rosewater,
Mary Elizabeth b 30 Oct 1869 d 13 March 1935 md. Edward B. Douglas (your family) Ellen born 19 Dec 1871 Portland Estate d 23 Dec 1874 of Pneumonia, Laura Jane b 19 Jan 1874 Portland Estate md. William Hamence1897 WA, Donald Alexander born 15 July 1876 Portland died 11 Sept. 1949 md. Susannah Mabey Hamence 1897 WA. Edith Alice born 8 May 1879 Rosewater d 21 Feb 1880 Portland Estate of convulsions. Lily Roseina b 22 Jan 1881 Edithburg d 20 Sept 1968 Semaphore South Md Henry James Peters 1902, Jessie Harper Couper born 19 Dec 1883 Edithburgmd. Sidney Beattie 1906, died 17 March 1917 and Adelaide Blanche b 1 Feb 1886 Edihburgh d 23 June, 1950. I have other little bits and pieces so if you have any questions just askI was interested in the Discharge Certificate in Hobart 1866. That would mean I guess that Donald was working on a ship and left it in Tasmania.I have been thinking for a while now that my Great grandfather may have come to Aust with his cousin Donald as they both married in SA in 1867 and for over 25 years I have searched and cannot find out how James Harper arrived in SA This may be a lead for me which I am quite excited about.If you would like it may be easier for you to contact me at [email protected]
Good to hear from you and I await your reply,Kind regards, Rosilyn.
