Arent you doing well with the existing replies.
I went starting with Ros Davies Co Down website freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~rosdavies/SURNAMES/R/Rice.htm and found nothing of exact interest, but noted for later
Arthur RICE . Saintfield husband of Agnes Crawford; father of Catherine b. 16 Aug 1869 CR
Ok so New York try castlegarden.org there are 50 James Wood, and 77 James Woods all travelling from Ireland. There are 4 Catharine Rice, 38 Catherine Rice, 4 Catharine Rice, 67 Catherine Woods all travelling from Ireland
so see if any match between 1868 and 1894
Catherine Woods Servant, Gentleman's Servant 16 F 26 Sep 1872 Ireland Australia
Catherine Woods Spinster 18 F 6 May 1891 Ireland City Of Baltimore
Catherine Woods Servant, Gentleman's Servant 18 F 17 May 1882 Ireland Furnessia
Catherine Woods Servant, Gentleman's Servant 18 F 31 May 1882 Ireland Anchoria
Catherine Woods Unknown 21 F 16 Oct 1883 Ireland Bolivia
Catherine Woods Servant, Gentleman's Servant 26 F 1 May 1885 Ireland City Of Rome
ie I was trying to find if they had married in ireland etc. I didn’t find a match among the James Woods ie for the same voyage, but I was rushing and don’t have the time to check the spelling James Wood in simliar voyages
When I use
www.familysearch.com I know that Down means the parish of Down ie inc Downpatrick, suggestive possibilities exist eg
