Lewis / Jones puzzle from 1908

[alanmack]

Hi All,
        This is a straightforward look-up request please (for the BHC database), as no passenger list image seems to be freely available. The ship in question is the Corsican which arrived Quebec 23 May 1908.

According to L.A.C. there is a 'Lewis Jones' listed among the children, where the RootsChat BHC database has a 'John Lewis'. It would appear that somewhere along the line the surname and forename have been transposed. But Which one is right? (If there is an official mix-up of identities I'll use the AKA facility, but with the birth name as the foremost ID.)

I favour John Lewis being correct as he may be travelling with a younger brother, Frederick. Any help appreciated.

You can view and go through the passenger list images here:

The passenger list for the Corsican that arrived that date has a Lewis Jones, 14 listed. There is a 12 year old Fred Lewis listed on the same page.

Here's a link to the passenger list page with Lewis Jones on line 7 and Fred Lewis on line 14:

Linda, Jacquie,
                     My thanks to both of you. I'll rename the entry Lewis Jones and put a note about the change and why. Finding the passenger list images has provided a bonus too. The three Unsworth girls (sisters?) are marked "did not arrive" so presumably they did not travel (rather than jumped overboard! ) That's been noted too.

Again thanks.
