Correspondence 03/10/02 passengers #786-793 Ramsey/Ramshaw
Although this passenger's name appears to be Ramshaw on the original
manifest, it is now believed to be RAMSEY. See correspondence below:
My great-great grandparents and their children are listed on the ship;
however, the name is wrong. I have documents to prove that the name
should be RAMSEY.
They are passengers # 786 through 793. They are parents, Robert Bruce
Ramsey and Jane Ann Richardson Ramsey. Their children are Jane Ann Ramsey,
McCaulley Ramsey, William Ramsey, Hannah Ramsey, Robert Ramsey, and
Richardson Ramsey. They left an older daughter, Isobel Ramsey Pattison,
in England. The family is from County Durham. They lived in several
cities there but Robert Bruce Ramsey is from New Castle on Tyne.
