![]() The Entry for Beezie Cowley on one page of the SS Westernland Passenger List of October 2, 1902 (having left Liverpool on Sept. 24, 1902). Note the $5 or £5 item. The column header refers to the amount of money the passenger carried. The far-right column refers to the person that the passenger expected to meet at their destination, in this case her brother Martin Cowley at 2919 Flora Street. "Easkey" is in the last residence column |
![]() The Entry for Charles Cowley in the same passenger list, on a different page. In the last residence column, "Durham", "none" in the money column, and gives his sister in law Mary Cowley's name. This may have been brother Martin's wife Mary (possibly b. Killcullen) |

The entry for Thomas Cowley in a larger section of the list, on still another page, this time to show the header and neighboring passenger names. Last residence is a ditto of the line above, which shows Killala or something very close to it, with what may be Durham beneath it. Thomas names his brother Martin Cowley and the Flora Street address, while next on the list Patrick Kilcullen gives Martin at the same address as his cousin. |
