So am I.
I have found several names, but unfortunately when I try to look at the image it is too faint and unreadable. I have reported 2 of these.
I have had e-mails back, thanking me and saying that they will not be able to improve them until the next time they are doing their adjustments. Sorry scheduled updates!

Sharpie

The database includes some people travelling from Europe - ie if the voyage began outside Europe but called it at European ports before docking in the UK, then the passenger lists will include the people who came on board at Gibraltar, Lisbon etc

For anyone who hasn't found the people they are looking for, the reason may be that their forenames are not written in full, but only appear as initials, or Mr, Mrs, infant etc. More worrying is the fact that quite a number of names do appear in full on the lists,and are clearly written, but the surnames are not included in the index. Hopefully this will get fixed eventually, but meantime it may be worth searching without a surname in case that brings up the results you want.

Happy hunting.

Could someone have a look for Florence Humbertson/Lumbertson/Rainer (b1874 Plumstead, Kent) arriving with daughter Beatrice (b1898 Toronto) between 1898 and 1901 from Canada/USA ?

It would help to solve a small puzzle!

Thanks,

HI

I couldn't find that particular family, but there is a John Humbertson born c1879 aged 19, departing from Montreal Quebec and arriving Liverpool on the 'Labrador' on 24 May 1898.

Mind you, other people are better than I am at this sort of thing, so hopefully they might be able to find Florence! Good luck - I still haven't found my German g-grandfather, but live in hope that the European immigrants might eventually be indexed.
