Actually I was thinking the Meath Lewis/Luis might have been the Louis Friedman you had found travelling from Hamburg on 2nd Nov 1889. As his occupation: Hawker and you could eliminate him
Best of luck
Ah... I see. I should update that original post, because I've already needed to eliminate the Louis on a shipping list. (Sorry)
He was travelling in November 1889 from Hamburg - destination Hull. The timing was just right to marry his first wife Rachel in Leeds, in April 1890. I as so excited finding this Louis Friedman, who was from LOMZA. His occupation was given in German as Handler = Dealer/Hawker his age was 23 & there were no other Friedman's on the list. I tried everything to link him to my grandfather, but nothing.
So, I followed the guy who was next in line, listed after Louis from Lomza on the list. His name was Max Grawecki & he was aged 20 & also from Lomza. Of course he could have been simply the next guy in line & nothing to do with Louis, but I searched the UK hoping to find a marriage for Max & perhaps Louis was a witness or perhaps they boarded together, but I found nothing of Max. This went on for 6 months.
Then recently, a friend thru another friend in the US, found that Louis & Max were together... they arrived together in New York just before Christmas 1889, after changing ships in Liverpool :-(
So, I'm back to square one with my grandfather's place of origin. Sorry, it's a while since I did that original post & I should have re-read it & updated it.
