Chas M Cocking born 1863 aged 51 left Liverpool on the 12th November 1914 bound for Sydney Australia on the Runic with him were
Maud E aged 41 housewife
Miss Louie Pascoe  aged 25 home duties
Mr Fred aged 17 farmer
Queenie aged 10 scholar
Rex aged 8 scholar
Cyril aged 7 scholar

They are all on the same ticket number 14402 so maybe Miss Pascoe was the children's nanny?

The country of intended permanent residence was given as Australia

Hello diabak

There are numerous "trees" for the Charles M. COCKING / Maud E. KENDALL family on the ancestry.com website.   Maybe one of these researchers of the family can give you additional information.
