    1. [TSL] Australia to Honolulu 1889 - 1894
    2. I am trying to find the arrival in Honolulu from Australia (perhaps via San Francisco, as some of the ships from the colonies went first to SF then back down to Honolulu) during the period approx. 1889 -1894 of Joseph Sharp (b. Leeds, Yorkshire about 1836) Joseph Harold Sharp (may just be traveling as Harold; born Leeds, 1872) Robert William Sharp (b. Bolton/Bradford/Yorkshire Eng. 1876) Cecil Sharp (b. either in Leeds, Yorkshire, Eng., or in Australia, perhaps Hobart, Tasmania; 1880 or 1881, or 1884) Family sometimes used Sharpe (with the "e"). I have part of this family into Honolulu on the SS Alameda Sydney to Honolulu, departed July 18th 1894; arrived July 26th 1894: Mrs. Sarah Sharp, English, age 50, last residence Melbourne, destination in the Hawaiian Islands = Honolulu, occupation = wife; object of coming to the Hawaiian Islands = residence, remarks = Husband at Honolulu. Mrs. Ena Sharp, age 28, daughter [etc.] Miss F. Sharp, 23, daughter [etc.] Circy Sharp, 11 mth, child [etc.] Roseland Sharp, 6 yr., child [etc.] This family, plus others, and except for Roseland who was born in Melbourne, arrived in Hobart on the SS Gulf of Carpentaria: S.S. Gulf of Carpentaria from London to Hobart, sailed [looks like] 10th December 1883, arrived 3rd February 1884. Sharp family including F127 Sharp, Sarah, 44, C of E, R&W, Leeds England, on whose application: Joseph Sharp; remarks: Gone on shore. " , Harold, 11, C of E, R&W, Leeds, [etc., same as Sarah] " , Robert, 9 [etc.] " , Maggie, 7 [etc.] " , Cecil, 2 [he is listed as 2, but was 3; also listed as female instead of male] ***** see my question below M128 Sharp, Augustus P., 13 [etc.] F129 Sharp, Sarah, 22, [etc.], needlewoman F130 Sharp, Alice E., 20 [etc.], needlewoman F131 Sharp, Florence B., 14 [etc.]. F183 [?] Sharp, Lilian, 16 [etc.], with F127; Mr. Joseph Sharp Parkville House Hobart will receive her. I brought in the LDS film of the Hawaii State Archives' Index to Passengers (general) Early to 1900, but the frontispiece, and indeed the index cards, only went to 1879, except for one of "mine" misfiled; she arrived in Honolulu in 1895. Barring bringing in all the ship manifest films - and I did start to do this and didn't find them starting in 1889 - I am not sure how else to do this. Any suggestions for where I should go next? Thanks. Marie
