There were two ships with the name     Stirlingshire. The ship that your ancestors and mine sailed on was a     smaller wooden hulled vessel built in New Zealand in 1848, pictured above.     Her home port in 1885 - 1886 was Youghal, County Cork, Ireland, and her     official number was 24868. The signal flag letters were PCNT.     There is a book that has a great detail description of the voyage on that     ship in 1885 by a Mr. Philip L. Pasquini. The book is call "Indentured     Immigrants  - A Jewish family odyssey from Madeira to the Sandwhich     Islands".     If you would like to order the book, you can contact him directly at     [6]pasquini99@comcast.net     Good Luck,     Tom Freitas     -----Original Message-----     From: [7]prt-madeira-bounces@rootsweb.com     [[8]mailto:prt-madeira-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Lou Henderson     Sent: Tuesday, February 21, 2012 1:21 PM     To: [9]PRT-MADEIRA@rootsweb.com     Subject: [PT-MADEIRA] Joao Goncalves Lourenco and Antonia de Agrela     Joao Goncalves Lourenco and Antonia de Agrela (Wife) left Madeira in     1885     and arriving in the Sandwich Islands on 4 March 1886 aboard the SS     Sterlingshire.     I am seeking information about their children, parents and     dates...especially of their parents.     I was told Joao parents were Antonio Goncalves Lourenco and Antonia     Rodrigues of Faja da Ovelha.
