Canadian Passenger List - Henry Brown - 1862 - aged 30 years - labourer.
Departure Ports Liverpool, England; Londonderry, Ireland
Arrival Date 13 Aug 1892 Quebec, Canada - Vessel  Sardinian.

Age slightly out but that is not unusual. The early passenger lists do not give a person in the old country or a contact in Canada, so it can be difficult with a common name like Brown to be certain it is the correct person.
