Eureka!  In the far right column of that first image it shows "Alexander Gollan Carpenter" then another line I can't make out looks like something bridge and another name.

Brilliant one for the decipherers!! 

Thank you so much, whether he was on this ship or an earlier one .......... onwards and upwards!

[Janette]

What image number is it?

[fifer1947]

Oooops sorry I saved cropped and enlarged it!    Can you make it out?

Can't see the record number so "shared" for a link

That is interesting,there are 2 lots of records in the manifest,the Gollans are on image 12 and  image 28,both have the same page numbers (26)but the second set have the pencilled notations on it.
The last bit looks like Ch Ch,maye an abbreviation for Christchurch

[fifer1947]

I agree it is weird but oh! so helpful!    Looks like he was already out in NZ and working when he sent for the family.

Agree it does look like Ch Ch for Christchurch, one bridge was washed out about that time but it looks more like Gash--- Bridge or Sash---- Bridge something like that??

Hi fifer,

I was in the Christchurch library so I had a wee look for any Gollans. The only reference was Euphemias marrige to Mr Greaves in 1901.which I know you have. The marrige on NZ BMD is under Gollon.
