Further comments

The "Annie H. Smith" would take around 80 days to get from New York to Sydney.

On her daughter's application (1906/1931 of same name) she has a note saying "Lady" written in a different hand, presumably to distinguish her from her mother.

Both applications have the word "Jews?" in pencil.
