    1. [TSL] SS Alameda Sydney to Honolulu 1894
    2. Does anyone have access to the ship's list for the SS Alameda Sydney to Honolulu, departed July 18th 1894; arrived July 26th 1894? See my question at the bottom of all this. Listed therein are a few Sharp family members: 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. My questions: We are trying to figure out if the Cecil on the 1883/4 Gulf of Carpentaria list is the "Circy" 11 mth. (or yrs. -- can't make out that abbreviation) in July 1894 on the S.S. Alameda. Ships' lists are often wrong with the ages, and these are no exceptions, but this Circy doesn't fit if it is 11 months and doesn't fit if it is 11 years, and no Cecil to Honolulu. Also, the Circy to Honolulu is just "child" - no gender. (Cecil was born in Leeds Oct 1880; definitely a male.) Can anyone confirm that Circy's age is 11 months rather than years? Can anyone find a Cecil to Honolulu in those years (1889-1894)? I am also looking for the husband/father and another son into Honolulu, which will be the subject of another post. Any suggestions for where I should go next? Thanks. Marie
