I take it that the half yearly agreement you are referring to is for the vessel GERTRUDE Official number 60305 from the on line 1881 crew agreement database at MHA Newfoundland.
https://www.mun.ca/mha/1881/onview.php?Record_ID=163424&%20CrewListPage=2&page=2

I have included a link so that rootschatters can compare the writting in the complete Crew Agreement. For my money the ship is COMMERCE official number 11060, registered in Exeter. The problem is it seems  all of her Crew Agreements have been lost or destroyed, so there is no way I can prove it was this vessel.

If no one comes up with an answer, I suggest you e mail MHA asking if they could in any way enhance the original Crew Agreement 1880 for GERTRUDE. They are very good at MHA and can maybe give you a definitive answer to your question.

It may also be worthwhile getting in touch with
