Brilliant Agadowey.   so - Lukszas ....

[aghadowey]

Lukszas on his marriage in Boston but naturalization record gives another version which will hopefully be the one on passenger manifest.

My mother has Lithuanian ancestors, and they all were listed as coming from Russia in the 1910 census.  As aghadowey mentioned above, the political issues can impact the country's name.  It's also possible that the information came from someone who didn't know for sure or there were language/accent issues between the informant and the census taker.

Having the year of immigration vary from census to census is pretty common.  People forget, or the informant didn't know for sure.  You might also want to keep in mind the possibility that they went home for a visit and came back again.

arrived New York March 1901 on "Augusta Victoria" from Liverpool, England under name of Antoni Lukazas

The petition for naturalization, which was filed in 1904, says he arrived in New York on 22 Mar. 1900 and was born 25 Dec. 1873.  His name was listed as Anton Luksza.

I haven't had any luck so far on finding a passenger list for the Augusta/Auguste Victoria with either of those dates. 

[aghadowey]

That must be a different record, shellyesq. The one I saw was from 1940s and did give 2 different dates of arrival but only the second date had full details. Will see if I can find it again.

Added-
declaration of intention 11 Jan.1943, oath of allegiance 25 June 1945
It was Anna who arrived in New York in Sept.1900- Anton's date as posted earlier.

The ship August(a/e) Victoria of the Hamburg America Line doesn't seem to fit with a departure from Liverpool. There was a later different ship with a similar name called Kaiserin Auguste Victoria (Cunard Line) that sailed in and out of Liverpool. One of my relatives sailed from New York to Liverpool on it in 1920.

It looks like the SS Kaiserin Auguste Victoria was built too late to fit trips from 1900-1901.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RMS_Empress_of_Scotland_(1906)

[Blue70]

Yes as I said different ship but the name may come up as it had a Liverpool link and a similar name. The earlier ship was more likely to sail in and out of Southampton rather than Liverpool.
