Eileen The ship sailed from Liverpool on May 30, 1859 and was to call at Belfast, according to the London Times of Tuesday, May 31, 1859. She made regular runs and in the NY Times of June 14, 1859 it lists the ship sailing from Queenstown on June 3, sailing for NY. She is then reported in the NY Times of June 16: Steamship City of Manchester, (Br., screw,) Kennedy, Liverpool May 31, Belfast June 1, and Queenstown 3d, at 2P.M., with mdse. and passengers to J.G. Dale. Passed Cape Race on the 10th, at 8A.M., in a dense fog. I cannot find an ad for that ship but others list seven pounds as the steerage rate and they were very competitive. Regards..

I have been searching passenger lists for John Spellman who came from Co. Mayo, Ireland in the 1830's to the U. S. but have found nothing. Since he and his wife, Ann Austin, had two children born in Vermont, I was thinking he may have come to Canada. Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I can search? Betty Spelman

Good advice Allan, I always encourage people to embrace their "oral family history" because there is always some truth in the story. After about 13 years of hearing family stories I'm convinced that more people 'missed' the TITANIC than sailed on her, because of "missing baggage" etc. There was some truth however, because there was a coal strike at the time, so many ships cancelled sailings ... other's changed schedules, so some coming to UK by feeder-ships missed their ship and were sadly placed on the Titanic but other's got luckier and missed that too. The impact of the loss of that vessel was so great that it coloured memories, or the original story might have been "we sailed just before ... or just after" the Titanic, which sometimes became embellished to "we missed the Titanic because ..." The biggest help from that type of story is that it probably frames the emigration period to about one year before to one year after the Titanic. What I had written about the CANADA arrival in 1921 came from the official 'Transatlantic Passenger Movement" records. If you are interested in learning more about the 1923 Immigration Quotas you mention, there is a LOT here, some sad stories, some funny, some just plain interesting, extracted from "The New York Times ; The London Times ; The Toronto Globe ; The Express, Lock Haven, Pennsylvania" http://www.theshipslist.com/ships/Arrivals/1923.htm Sue -- TheShipsList Website http://www.theshipslist.com/ At 12:22 PM 2010-08-07 -0400, Aejordan@aol.com wrote: >Jim writes: > >...

Hello Betty, There is probably a pretty good chance that they did arrive via Quebec, Canada. Canada did not begin to archive passenger lists until 1865, so very few list survive, prior to that date. We do however have over 1200 (so far) steamboat lists from Quebec to Montreal with the corresponding newspaper extracts showing the vessels arriving at the port of Quebec, carrying settlers. http://www.theshipslist.com/ships/passengerlists/1819_36stlawrence.htm ... we have just started to get in to the 1830's. I googled TheShipsList for Spellman (none) and Spelman and found one that may be of interest. Was there a Moran connection to your Spelman? The brig WARRIOR in 1842. http://www.theshipslist.com/ships/passengerlists/warrior1842.htm This vessel sailed from Westport, which was the emigration port for county Mayo. On board are a lot of Moran, including these two ... Moran, Mary Spelman age 30 and Moran, John Spelman age 4 For 1842 I don't have newspapers, but a British Parliamentary report http://www.theshipslist.com/ships/Arrivals/1842b.htm ... 4 ship loads all arriving July 5th have this notation >> some went to Belleville, others to Kingston & Toronto ; part to the United States << Sue -- TheShipsList Website http://www.theshipslist.com/ At 02:35 PM 2010-08-07 +0000, Spelman wrote: >I have been searching passenger lists for John Spellman who came from Co. >Mayo, Ireland in the 1830's to the U.

Hi Natalie, Your grandfather and lots of family arrived at Saint John, New Brunswick on 21 March 1911. They had $1,000 and were headed to Saskatchewan by the CPR railway ... three "Special" trains were laid on to carry the passengers on the inward journey. Reel Number Ship Name Shipping Line Special Group(s) Departure Information Arrival Information Remarks T-4823 MOUNT TEMPLE (CPR) Canadian Pacific Railway Co. (O): Austrian; Roumanian; Bukovinian; Hungarian; Russian; Bulgarian; Pole; German; Ruthenian; Italian Antwerp, Belgium 1911-03-08 St. John, N.B. 1911-03-21 Captain James H. Moore; quarantine: some passengers to hospital They sailed from Antwerp, so I suppose it is _possible_ that they first took a vessel from Poland to Antwerp which sounded like "Carlesburg," but I think it would have been more likely that they went by rail. If you have an Ancestry subscription you can find them very quickly, but if not, you go here to the Library and Archives, Canada (LAC) http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/passenger/index-e.html On the search page just type in MOUNT TEMPLE and the arrival year 1911 and select the March 21st Saint John arrival. You then select "View Image" and start clicking through ... there are 58 pages in the manifest. On Ancestry they are on page 20, but they only show 54 pages [they often don't include the front page or the summaries] .. so it might be around page 21 at the LAC. You can make the image bigger by clicking on it, however you will have to first hit the back button on your browser to be able to navigate through the pages again.

My grandfather Wojciech (William) Kozlowski born in 1879 Tobolow, Poland and his wife Eva Pawluk born in Rozdzalow, Poland came to Canada 1911. We have the ship's name as Carlesburg but apparently there was no such ship. Any information would be appreciated.

WE ARE LOOKING FOR INFORMATION RELATED TO THE ARRIVAL TO COLOMBIA OF MY GRANDFATHER FRANCESCO SALERNO, ITALIAN MARRIED ANGELA ROZO AND WITH TWO CHILDREN: CLARA SALERNO AND NICOLAS SALERNO. WE ARE NOT SURE IF THEY CAME TOGETHER, IF PERMISSION MARRIED AND THEY HAD THE CHILDREN IN COLOMBIA, IF I MARRY HERE. WE BELIEVE THAT IT SHOULD HAVE COME TO COLOMBIA BETWEEN THE YEAR 1845 TO 1910. WE WANT TO KNOW THE NAMES OF THE SHIPS AND HIS PASSENGERS OF THIS DATE WHO CAME TO COLOMBIA. WE DO NOT ALSO KNOW IF FROM ITALY THEY WERE TRAVELLING DIRECTLY TO COLOMBIA OR WERE COMING FIRST TO NEW YORK AND THEN ON NOT HAVING ALLOWED THEM HIS REVENUE TO UNITED STATES THEY THEM SENT TO COLOMBIA. ANY INFORMATION WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR THEM. REGARDS, ELIZABETH C. TORRES B.

Hi Natalie, There was no passenger ship to Canada in 1911 with a name anything like that. Why don't you post the names and ages of your passengers and where in Europe you think they originated.

Hi Jim, In 1921 there were many many ships diverted from New York to other east coast ports (Boston, Philadelphia) due to over-crowding at Ellis Island. These diverted ships had been originally scheduled to arrive at Ellis Island. Publications such as the Morton Allan Directory often seem to have reported that these _diverted_ ships arrived at their scheduled port, rather than the port they were diverted to, so that entry was an exception. In 1921 the Fabre Line CANADA was sailing from Mediterranian ports to New York. On Steve Morse's website http://www.stevemorse.org/index.html New York arrivals 1921 February 24 Canada 1921 April 19 Canada 1921 June 03 Canada (barge Canada) 1921 June 12 Canada 1921 July 18 Canada 1921 September 09 Canada 1921 October 09 Canada 1921 October 30 Canada 1921 November 30 Canada 1921 December 30 Canada Philadlpha arrival 1921 February Canada Sailed from Naples 8th February ... arrival Feb 23 1921 ... New York crossed through and Philadelphia stamped on the page. 45 third class passengers were landed at New York and 1,710 third class passengers landed at Philadelphia. So, yes, your friend's mother was almost true, however it was overcrowding rather than health issues. Who knows what rumours may have abounded on board at the time and also maybe added later, through embellishment or speculation as the oral story was handed down.

Was there a ship called Carlsberg that brought immigrants to Canada from Europe? 1911. maybe spelled Carlesburg or ??

HI I am looking for travel information on William Charles Hoaten. The information I have is: *He *traveled from * London to the Cape**, SthA 1899*. He was listed as Wm Hoaten, born in 1874. Cape lists him as a Saddler age 25 ** In 1906 he went from Durban to Southhampton In 1907 he travelled from Southampton to Cape Town with his wife E Hoaten In 1925 he travelled from Durban to Southampton. I do not know when he returned to SA I have not seen any of the manifests, this is all 3rd hand information. I wonder if any of the actual manifests mention his martial status. Thanks Michelle

A friend related a story passed on to her from her mother. When her mother came to the United States on the Canada in February 1921, she was supposed to land in New York on Ellis island. However, the passengers were discharged in Philadelphia because there was an eye disease epidemic on Ellis Island. According to Morton Allen, 45 passengers landed in New York, and 1,710 passengers landed in Philadelphia. I have never heard of a ship being diverted to another port because of a health condition on Ellis Island. I feel the Canada had always been scheduled to land in Philadelphia. Could this person's mother's story be true? Jim ____________________________________________________________ Health Plans From $50/mo. Compare Low-Cost Health Plans Online.

Hello Listers My Scottish grandmother arrived in Townsville, Queensland, on 10th August 1900 on the "Duke of Norfolk". Would this be the SS "Duke of Norfolk". Whether or not, would anyone know how I could find a picture of the vessel please? I'm also interested in pictures of the merchant ship "Hercules" which arrived in Port Jackson in 1835, the immigrant ship "Alfred" which also arrived in Port Jackson, in 1841, and the immigrant ship "Lord Hungerford" which arrived in Port Phillip in 1841.

Hello Pam, Yes, this was the SS Duke of Norfolk. She was 3,819 gross tons, built 1889 by Hawthorn Leslie & Co, Newcastle as the Nairnshire for Turnbull, Martin & Co, Glasgow. In 1898 she was sold to the Ducal Line (J. B.. Westray & Co), Glasgow and renamed Duke of Norfolk. 27th Jul.1898 started first voyage London via Suez to Brisbane. Last voyage 10th Sep.1902. The company then went into liquidation and the remaining ships were transferred to Gray, Dawes & Co. In 1905 the Duke of Norfolk was sold to C. Andersen, Hamburg and renamed Marcellus. 1908 sold to Sweden renamed Johanna, 1914 sold to Greece renamed Pericles. On 24th May 1914 she sank 90 miles off Ushant after striking submerged wreckage on voyage Swansea - Alexandria with coal. The others were sailing vessels.

Good morning Listers, First I wish to thank everyone who assisted me with regards to the arrival of the "Demosthenes" in Brisbane in Oct 1911. Your information and suggestions were very much appreciated. Also, with regards to the mystery of the incorrect age of Barbara Irene Hudson, the child of Richard and Jessie Hudson, it was suggested and mostly likely correct, that the Hudsons' passage was probably booked in Feb 1911 and at that time Barbara would have been 9 months old. Mystery solved. However, I have another mystery to be solved. I am helping a friend who is researching George King (born 08.12.1840 in County Essex), who is supposed to have arrived in the Colony around 1860, on board the sailing ship the "Boston". However, I cannot find the arrival of any ship called the "Boston". George King married Harriet Quince in 1870 in Binda. George King is remembered for building the Old Flour Mill and the Binda Mill Cottage around 1899. George died in 1900 before the Mill was completed. The Mill and cottage have been recently restored and it is now a B & B in Binda. Regards, Janice Belrose - Sydney
