YES! This is our family!!!! How in the world did you find the list?

Only a few small discrepancies with the age of the adults, but the children's ages are all exact. I'm assuming someone looked at the adult and "guesstimated" their age, because they are all listed as a few years younger than their birthdates indicates: William and Sarah were 55 and 54 at the time, the log indicates 50, and Mary (Bumby Brook?) was 34, and the log indicates she was 32.

We're wondering how daughter Mary Lucy Brook got to the USA if she wasn't with this bunch... Born 5 December 1860 in England, she died in Montana on 7 May 1904. She would have been right at 13 in 1873. And the James Booth listed, age 35, isn't a relative, unless it is meant to be James Brook, age 43. Perhaps James and his daughter came across on an earlier or later vessel?

Thank you for giving us this great gift!

Holly
