What is the passenger name and date?
Could be the father is going to a son in law;
Could be son is son of second wife with surname from her first marriage;
Could be son on board ship is going to a brother in law
Son on ship--Could be same name, different age of person in Akron, going to
brother in law in Akron, but different address ???
Many possibilities, fun of the puzzle is finding the answers.
