It's not as simple as that. If you look at the two examples of "Patk
Ahearn" both lists have identical handwriting and the complete list of
Queenstown passengers, not just Patrick Ahearn. One has an additional four
passengers at the top of the page getting off at Liverpool the rest are
listed as Queenstown. The other, all the names on the list are getting off
at Queenstown. It is not simply the same image. If you compare them the
handwriting is the same, but it is not a photocopy or duplicate image as
the names sometimes cross vertical lines by one letter on one image and
not on the other. The biggest problem I have with this is that two
different ships are cited.

Dennis: I suspect we have a direct/indirect passenger list/s. If I remember correctly, the page before the Huron list with Ahern has the word "direct" written at the top.
