Hi Everyone I am seeking information on the Soper families as follows: 1. William Soper who married Louisa Rapsey in 1848 in the Hunter Valley area. They had several children and later moved to Sydney. Their daughter Bertha Louisa (and other childre) were born in Morpeth. 2. William Soper who emigrated to Australia from Dorset with his family. They arrived on the Emigrant in 1840 - his wife's name was Mary Ann Higgins. They settled in the Paterson area and more children were born in Australia. Are the above families connected? I am connected to both the above families and dont know if the two Soper families are connected. Jean Pritchard
