Hi,

My G grandfather & family immigrated to america in 1916
What i was wondering was why they are listed twice the 1st time
date of arrival is 23rd April 1916 & the 2nd time 11th May 1916.
There names are William Cowans 1865/66..Harriet Ann 1866..David Robert 1898..Sylvia 1907 all from Durham,Dawdon,England .
Thanks Val

On the first one, April 23rd., their names have been crossed off the list. Missed the boat, perhaps?

Thank you Margaret


If at all possible could i have the information on the Passenger list for the 11th May 1916. Please

On the Ellis Island site which is free, you just have to register. They are:
William Cowans, 51, miner, born Bishopeackland? (probably Bishopwearmouth
Harriet, wife, 50, housewife, born Abstillery?, Wales
David R., son, 17, miner, born West Cornforth
Sylvia, daughter, 8, scholar, born Earthowla?
Lydia Langley, niece, 19, domestic servant, born Houghton
All from Dawdon, nearest relative son of William & Harriet, 24 Adolphus St., Seaham Harbour.
They're heading to Akron, Ohio to join son, Jno, 33 Chireta? St., Akron.
William says he was previously in America 1887/1888 in Munson?.

Margaret

Thank you so much I did register with Ellis Island and i couldn't find anything other than the passenger list details I probably wasn't searching right

Thanks Val

Val, after you find the passenger you're looking for click on "ship manifest" to get details. You might have to go forwards or backwards through the pages.
When you find the page with the names take note what line number your person is on. On the next page, where they give destination, there's no names but it's the same line number.
Also click on "ship image" to get a history of the ship and a photograph.

You may already have this but I thought it wouldnt hurt to send it
