Grandma's Voyage to America

I've been trying for about a year now to find Anna, Peder and Amanda (Peder's [at the time] fiance) on a ship's list somewhere. Finally found it!

First we got the following info from Arne :

"Amanda emigrated from Trondheim 13. April 1910 by the ship "Salmo", bound for Minneapolis, MN.

But she did not travel alone. Together with her was Peder Pedersen Bordvik, unmarried farm worker, born 1887 in Velfjord, also bound for Minneapolis, and with the home address America. So he must have emigrated earlier and was home for a visit.

Peder also brought with him his brother Hartvik Pedersen Bordvik, born 1893 in Velfjord and his sister Anna Pedersdatter Bordvik, born 1888.

And in addition to them, was a fifth person, Andreas Andreassen, unmarr., born 1889 in Velfjord, all five with the same destination."

So apparently Peder came first, then went back and was to return with his fiance Amanda, his sister Anna and brother Hartvig - in the spring of 1910. Using this information I did find all five on the ship's list for the ship named the S. S. Montrose, sailing from Liverpool 23 April 1910. It indicates that none of them had been in America before this, so perhaps Peder didn't come over first. I'm not sure....

It does say that Anna (21) and Amanda (22) were servants, Peder (22) was a carpenter and Hartvig (16) a laborer. Anna was 5'8", Peder 5'7" and Hartvig 5'2". Amanda was 5'6 1/2".

All five (including their friend Andreas Andreassen) had their names crossed out, and a notation says "erased by purser - not on board."

Peder and Anna were from a farm named Bordvik, and Peder's name was therefore sometimes given as Peder Pedersen Bordvik. With this additional information I was able to find the ship they DID come on - the Empress of Britain. They sailed from Liverpool on 22 April, 1910. Peder, Anna, Amanda and Andres, but I don't find Hartvig on the list. (There are 128 pages - I haven't checked them all!!!) The ship sailed to Quebec, and they entered the U.S., then, from Canada.
