Looks like initials not quite correct on passenger list

Hi Choccy,

Thankyou very much. This entry is so close it's not true ! !

The family were indeed travelling to Winnipeg.

The names I have are:-

Alexandra Sophia who was born in September 1865
Arthur Herbert who was born in January 1869
William Sidney who was born in May 1874

Not exact but very close . . . . . what do you think?

I do have that census entry.

If I send you a PM could you send me the actual list?

Signing off for tonight.

Who's this?

Hi,

This is strange, very strange !

I do know that Alexandra Sophia Bush b 1865, emigrated to Canada on 5th October 1882. She married Thomas P Carver in Winnipeg in 1889.

However . . . . she had a sister called Alice Maude b1870. But I did suspect that Sophia had had an illegitimate child and this could be it.

Thankyou whoever you are, this looks very much like a mystery has been solved after about 15 years ! !

It's a long story, too long to go into on here, but I will indeed obtain these certificates. It's not my family but actually a local history story I have been researching for many years.

Here's the probable birth, if you are thinking of getting the certificate
