  	"Commonwealth" left London 21 May 1914 and arrived in Sydney NSW July 13th. Also landed in Adelaide, South Australia and it is from that alpha passenger list that it states to New Plymouth via Sydney.

She sailed from Port Adelaide July 7th for Eastern States. Due Melbourne 6th and Sydney 16th. Arrived Melbourne July 9th Arrived Sydney 13th July due to sail from Sydney to Capetown July 22 P and O branch liner says leaves Sydney July 23, Melbourne 28, Adelaide Aug 2 due Durban 22 London Sept 19 So this ship did not carry the Shepherd family on to New Zealand. They would have most likely caught a regualar ship going between Sydney and either Wellington or Auckland. Search done up to 31 July 1914 of shipping arrivals to Wellington, Auckland and New Plymouth but even though suspect some of the ships from Sydney only saloon passengers were mentioned in the newspapers and steerage just a number.
