Hello to al on this list

I am researching my husband John Copley's family. His four sets of great grandparents came to South Australia during the 1850's and 1860's and I am looking for their
descendants. The Great-grandparents were

1. James Copley (b.31/8/1817 nr Sheffield Yorkshire) and Elizabeth Redfern (b. 20/9/1822)
arrived South Australia in 1850 on board "Stratheden" early life at Black Rock and Orroroo district
and their children

* William (was SA MP and Minister for education) (got some hopeful leads here)
* Epenetus (married John Adams) (lots of gaps here)
* Sarah (married George Harding) (fairly complete tree here)
* Enos (my husbands grandfather) (fairly complete tree here also)
* James junior (moved to WA) (lots of gaps)
* Jabez (tree fairly complete)

2. Heinrich Wilhelm Klenner b. (2/11/1809 in Rohnstock Schweidnitz Silesia Prussia) and Anna Rosina Kuerschner (nee Heinke) arrived South Australia 1849 aboard
the “Pauline”, early life at Black Rock and Orroroo district, and their children

* Anna Rosina (married William Henry Lloyd) (very little info)
* Emma Matilda (married James Copley junior ) (lots of gaps)
* Maria Bertha (married Enos Copley) (tree fairly complete)

3. Fredrick Walsh (b. Cornwall?) arrived Australia 1865 and Isabella Thomas (b. 1841 Ludgvan,
Cornwall) married 1866, worked in Moonta as a tin miner, and their children

* Elizabeth Ellen (tree complete?)
* Fredrick John (tree complete)
* Edward Charles (no info at all)
* Harriet Alice (no info at all)
* Blanche (no info at all)
* Ivy (no info at all)

4. William Boundy (b. 12/11/1827 Ponsanooth, Cornwall) and Grace Treverton (b. 1833
Perranaworthal, Cornwall) married 1854 Gwennap, Cornwall, England
arrived South Australia 1854 on “William Prowse”, lived Moonta, and their children

* Nanny (m. Henry Isaac Freeman). Descendants incl. Andrewartha, Forbes, Freeman, Harris, Jensen)
* Eliza Jane (m. Joseph Bottrell) (lots of gaps)
* Esther (m. William Charles Bele - tree complete)
* Elizabeth (m. Fredrick Walsh - tree complete)
* William (m Edith lean - tree complete)
* Thomas (m. Bessie Floyd - lots of gaps)

If you are descended from any of these people or know anyone who is I would love to hear from you
