Profuse apologies. I have made two monumental errors.

Firstly, the date of the passenger list is 1920, not 1820!
Secondly, the list was obtained from Ancestry.com: An image from the
index to the passenger lists of ships arriving from foreign ports at
the port of Philadelphia 1883-1945, from National Archives and Records
Administration.
