Re: SS Labrador, Dominion Line, Liverpool to Quebec, 1893-09-21
My ancestor Wm Beaumont arrived in Canada in 1893. This is confirmed through several separate sources. But the manifest for the passenger list for above sailing states that this arrival occurred in 1895. Is it possible that the date of arrival page on the manifest has somehow been attached to an incorrect passenger list by mistake, perhaps when the passenger list was microfilmed? Has anyone encountered a possible discrepancy of this kind in their searches? Thank you. Margaret, Canada |

There does seem to be some problem with the manifest, maybe the transcription. I search the Canadian arrivals for Labrador 1893 for Beaumont and get this arrival
Wm Beaumont
in the Canada, Arriving Passengers Lists, 1865-1935
Name: Wm Beaumont
Departure Port: Liverpool, England
Arrival Date: 21 Sep 1895
Arrival Port: Quebec, Quebec, Canada; Montreal, Quebec, Canada
Vessel: Labrador
But looking at the oringal page, he seems to be a child attached to a father, mother and another child. Father seems to be S Beaumont.

Scrolling to the end of the manifest, I do find that the list is attached to the Labrador and arriving 21 Sep 1895.

Looking at the Ancestry source "All UK and Ireland, Outward Passenger Lists, 1890-1960 Results" shows the Labrador leaving Liverpool on 14 Sep 1893 with a large number of passengers, which would be about right for an 21 Sep arrival.
However no one named Beaumont on the passenger list. |

Thank you for your replies. Yes, I have these references to the passenger list, but I Know that Beaumont arrived in 1893 (first child born in Canada was born in 1894). If I look at the summary of the ship supposedly arrived in 1895, I see that there are discrepancies in the summaries made by the purser and whoever penned the other summary of the number of passengers. The two do not match at all, in the total of passengers, and in the handwriting. I still think there could be an error in the microfilming of these passenger lists to begin with. I think the summaries have been attached to the wrong passenger lists. There is a Labrador arrival on Sept. 21, 1893 and there is a Labrador arrival in Sept. 1895. Which complicates the matching process. Still puzzled, thanks, Margaret (has anyone else encountered errors in the transcription of the summary of the passenger list and the actual list of passengers. That's the question. Thanks, Margaret |

Errors might be a little more convincing if we did not have two sets of manifests. Those from the "All UK and Ireland, Outward Passenger Lists, 1890-1960 Results" seem to be consistent with those from "Canada, Arriving Passengers Lists, 1865-1935".
Thus we are looking at two sets of original manifests not just the transcriptions and they seem to list the same passengers and the year is 1895 for both of them. |

Yes, thank you. This is quite a transcription error and likely occurred because the original record is blurred on the name line. Alas, this passenger list entry is still a problem. My Beaumont male ancestor was 27 in 1893, my Beaumont female (wife) ancestor was 26 in 1893, their child Richard (also transcribed incorrectly) was 3 years old, born in 1891. Those ages do not match the arrival date of 1895, but rather 1893. As you and others have confirmed, there is no listing for this family in any of the 1893 indexes, so I still think that this passenger list date is problematic. But how to prove it? Among other things, the summary of the number of passengers on board has two different numbers. Which one belongs here? Mystified, regards, Margaret

From Bergens Annonce Tidende, Saturday 23. September 1893:
"The Dominion Line's steamer Labrador arrived at Quebec on the 22nd with the passengers who left Bergen on the 9th."
Among those who left Bergen on Sept. 9th with tickets for The Dominion Line and thus should be on the Labrador 1893 arrival list is Thorbjør Nilsdatter Hillestvedt born 1872 from Voss and her son Nils Nilsen Hillestvedt born 1892.

Beaumont ancestor full name is William Firth Beaumont. Second name "F" (ef) sounds like "S" (es) when spoken. That's why I think the name is transcribed incorrectly. This has occurred in several other instances in my ancestry searches. I also think that "Wm" is transcribed incorrectly as "Mr". Hence the index result of "Mr. S.Beaumont". Then we have Mrs. Beaumont. And child transcribed as "H", but should be "R" for "Richard". It may seem that I am stretching things a bit to find all these transcription errors, but not impossible. I have seen it before in other searches. And we don't have a record of another "Beaumont Wm" in the Ancestry index. The ages of the people match 1893. The "infant" is another mystery, which I am pursuing. Thanks for any insights, clarifications. Margaret

But looking at the oringal page, he seems to be a child attached to a father, mother and another child. Father seems to be S Beaumont.

Verifying date of ship arrival
