From your findings perhaps the 1916 entry might merit a closer look.
Overall I'm struggling with this because in one of the ship passenger
listings Meredith is listed with a wife and child, while in the other for
the child has become an adult with an occupation; in addition Meredith's
actual age was not listed.
Must be something in the water down there!
