Looking at the passenger list......
If one looks at the previous page, there is a list of entirely different names but the same occupations as shown for the passengers on the page with the sisters. I think the line down the middle might be a tear in the page the sisters are on and 1/2 of their page is missing.

Added: the ship they travelled on actually landed at St John New Brunswick. They would have travelled inland by train from there.
I don't think I would have ever figured that out; great detective work! I just took a look at other pages, and earlier in the manifest there is a half page with what looks like burnt edges, so something bad happened to the book!
I grabbed the port and date info from the index at Anc. instead of the Archives; I should know better
The 3 daughters, Emily, Elizabeth and Minnie were all domestic servants in different parts of the country.
I was getting hung up finding Emily, as I couldn't find one with a birthplace that matched.
I'm starting to think she added the middle name Barbara when she arrived in Canada, unless it was a name given at baptism, and never used? I think this is her birth:
First name(s) EMILY
Last name WILDING
Birth year 1881
Birth quarter 2
Registration month -
Mother's maiden name Harris
District Hay
County Breconshire
Country Wales
Volume 11B
Page 149
Also, no point in moving the thread now, the folks from the Canada board have found you!
