It occurs to me - the 3 1/2 passengers may have been 2 adults and 3 children - which would fit with the 3 arriving with the family as known by Tofgem
I forgot to mention - there was also a will at the archives for Samuel Pierpont died 1912 - would you be interested in the details of this? Sorry I didn't have time to check it

Now that's a thought Trish .... makes sense too.
As I said, I did look at other passengers to try to decipher the numbers and it was the passengers with "+fam" which had these numbers that looked like fractions. I should ask next time I go to the Archives.
If Tofgem is interested in the will I'm happy to check it (unless you're heading back that way Trish?)

Trish and Ruskie
Thanks for your thoughts.
Samuel Pierpoint was one of the sons of George Pierpoint who emigrated from England. He died in 1912 so the will must be for the same person. Yes, I would be interested in it if you have the time and opportunity to have a look.
Again, thanks for your interest and help.

Hi Ruskie
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
The information is both enthralling and useful. I have always been a sucker for detail that perhaps other people would not be interested in.
I have certainly been able to build up a picture of Stanthorpe in the pioneer days and Samuel Pierpoint is actually cited as being a pioneer.
Again thank you for your time and effort. It is very much appreciated.

Three months later and after several letters and emails I have managed to trace the lady with the Pierpoint letter and she has emailed it to me. Many thanks for finding the original reference.
