My great grandmother sailed on the Ionian April 1907 to Montreal, Canada. How do I find out the sailing route of the Ionian for that voyage and if there was more than one stop is there a way to determine where the passenger boarded? I understand that the Ionian stopped at Moville, Ireland. Who got on at Liverpool and who got on at Moville, Ireland? Many thanks for any help that can be offered.

Some conflicting information here where I read;
Ionian resumed the Liverpol-Montreal-Quebec service Mai 17. 1906 but went back to the Glasgow-Quebec-Montreal run on July 20. 1907 link

Here is an immigration record for a person travelling on the Ionian in April of 1907. If this is the correct date it shows a little more information on the ships journey.

Thank you all for your replies. Yes, the Ionian resumed the Liverpool-Montreal-Quebec service and the departure date was April 26th, 1907. I do have the passenger list but I do not know where she boarded as I have a document that states it was Liverpool via Moville, Ireland. Was this stop before Liverpool or after and how does one know which place the passengers boarded. This information would help my ancestry search significantly.
