Chap from Cornwell leaves home in search of gold and finds..,
By A Customer
This review is from: Live and Let Live: a History of the Soper Family (Hardcover)
..a wife in Australia, a little luck in the Otago Goldfields and eventually a lively pub and many children. When his children marry, many choose to remain in the district and before long they are sporting rugby teams full of Sopers!Live and Let Live is a non fiction work that through the eyes of a large family in a small community, looks at farming, rugby, goldmining and life in Northern Southland, New Zealand (in the far south) over the last 120 years. At the beginning of the book, Lyndel talks about travelling back to England to search for the origins of the family name and to establish if other branches have broken away to make a new life in other countries as well. There is a large family tree listing everyone born in New Zealand since W.D Soper first set foot there. In addition the book is packed with family pics, I'd guess around a hundred in all. |
