Find Ancestors

Hi All : My Grand father Emigrated to New Zealand from England in 1901. I think with his wife Harriet Jane Rice and my father Sidney Jonh Rice ( 5 Months old ) I see that a Alfred Rice traveled from London on the ship Cuzco on 12 Sep 1901 Destination : Melbourne, Australia then on to Sidney. On the passenger list I see that he traveled with a Mary Rice the same age as Harriet, A Jas J Rice the same age as Alfreds brother James John Rice and a Vincent Burgess. I would say that would be their nephew. I can not find any record of a Harriet and a Sidney rice traveling at that time, and would that Jas J Rice be James John Rice. Where can I find records of ships leaving Sidney Australia for New Zealand at that time. Can some one please help me on this. Cheers Warren

For reference.

Those 5 people would have travelled together then ? so they must be all linked in some way. Do you think that Harriet Rice Travelled to New Zealand at a later time.

They all seem to be in the same group. Was wondering if Trice was transcribed wrongly and also meant to be Rice??
Sorry, not finding Harriet or Sydney at all. Because of his age, he will probably be down as infant.
Afraid I must go now. Hope someone else comes on who can help you.

Thank you so much for your help. Yes I would say it would be John william rice. Cheers warren
