Hello Sue Thank you for this information. Amy Armstrong travelled on the T-4745 arriving on 1912-11-19. I have a copy of the Canadian Manifest ie the landing details, but do not have a copy of the front summary page, which is a shame. However, having just read the very small print in one of the last columns - I can see "travelled inland on" L.C.R. Thanks for this Sue, you've been very helpful.
