My name Chris Everett, I have been researching my family tree, it seems my grandfather was on the HMS CAMPANIA when it sank in the Firth of Forth. His sea books put him on the ship on the 5/11/1918 and then at HMS EAGLET, a shore base in Liverpool on the 6/11/1918 he died during WW2, so I never knew him. His name was Joe Mahoney A/B on HMS CAMPANIA 1916/1918 demobbed 1919 and went into the merchant navy.

My Grandfather, James Winder Bartley, arrived in Canada from England in 1893. He came over as a Barnardo home child. I can only assume like many he first arrived in New York before going on to Russell Farms in Manitoba. After searching I feel he may have been on the ship, "Campania." Do you have any passenger list to verify this.

I am also looking for the passenger list for the Caronia, another Cunard ship. She sailed out of England in 1903. My grandmother and her first husband arrived in Canada in1903. My Grandmother used several Cunard ships for later trips back & forth to England. I see this ship is not on your list, so I will also be looking for others resources also.

Thank-you for your time,
Deb Mack

I have been trying to find the passenger list for the Campania. My grandfather, Robert Johnston, stated on his petition for naturalization that he sailed from Liverpool, England on or about March 12, 1905 and arrived in New York, NY on March 20, '05. I have found nothing to verify this information.

As as child, I didn't ask questions regarding my grandfather's boyhood in Ireland and his reason for immigrating to the US. Now that I am an adult, I would like to have answers and am hoping to travel to Ireland this spring and hopefully see where "Grandpa" lived as a child and young adult. I can find nothing in the Ellis Island records to help me and therefore, if you have any information verifying his passage on the Campania, I would be grateful to you for sharing it with me.

Thank you,
Lee Ackerman
