Thanks.  What you sent was a great help.  Your information is correct.  However, as rumored, two of the dhildren, John abd Sarah, ages 16 and 12,  arrived in Hallifax Canada, and were hospitalized upon arrival in 1907. So now it all fits together. 
Another item from the boat record that was of great help was that the mother's name was Chia, a misspelling of Chaia.  Her descendants who even remembered her name, knew her  her as Ida only. Her great grandmother in Poland, born in the 1830s was named Chaia.
