Hello Liz,
with your Bernard Cain being a Mariner, and also later being a Bosuns Mate, he would have been able to take his wife and family with him for FREE to America, and free passage back again to England,
you and your Daughter get a big money jar, put all your change each week into it, and all you need is the airfare,
I have a bed made up for each of you and "meals are on the house" and I will show you both around New Zealand,
Averil
