  • Alice crossed the Atlantic on the ship Arkwright in 1866.   She was a single woman. Her name is penciled in on the Captain Thompson's records, after the fact. It seems to indicate that she was traveling with Ann Jackson and Harriet Painter. The adult food rations purchased for the three women were purchased in Ann's name.
