the original list of the steerage passengers of the JESSIE READMAN was taken from the Bay of Plenty Times 2 October 1879 (through Papers Past)

The 'Jessie Readman' left Gravesend on 27 June 1879 and arrived in Auckland on 26 September 1879 with 135 passengers and cargo valued at ?27,400 - in October 2010 this is equivalent to $4,159,000

The heading of the above newspaper is PORT OF TAURANGA so the following passengers may have disembarked in Tauranga or Auckland
