I need help with the name of the ship that William Weatherhead was on, it looks like Personola? but I can't find a ship under that name, any help or tips would be much appreciated, thank you!

It looks like Rersonela or similar.

It might just be the steamship Keroula which (according to Lloyd's List) arrived in Gibraltar just before William joined the Albatross. I think the Keroula was on its way to Montreal. If William was feeling unwell, he might not have fancied that voyage.

Lloyd's Register of Ships is really useful:
