Nathan Davis. Born England. Aged 9 years. Liverpool to New York arriving 7 Sep 1887 on the Queen.
Also travelling Phillip Davis aged 8 years. Looks like another Davis listed above aged 11 years - cannot read the name.  ???

Joseph Davis. Born about 1831. England. Liverpool to New York
Arriving 24 Aug 1888 on the Brittanic. Occupation: Broker.

Family in New York 1900

 Thank you for that info  Philip and Nathan look good but my Joseph J  Davis was a tailor from Russia. Do you think the other name could be Henry or Alexander

Found a separate entry and the name transcribed was Alea - so presume it is Alex.
