Thanks, Adrienne Labrousse Marrison > Adrienne -- If you google "NEWRY" you will find it's in Ireland :-) You haven't told us a year of arrival or an arrival port, so it's difficult to say how much detail you should find. All I can tell you is - it depends. It depends on the year. Earlier lists in general have very little info other than a place of origin and age. Children would be noted if they sailed with the family. Remember it's a passenger list so every passenger is listed.
