For “Arrival” 5 SEP 1863 of Christian Fester

Mess.rs Heussler | 3676 | Sept.r 29 | Christian, Ernestine & Ernestine Fester | 54 | Hamburg | "Blausiti" | 5th Sept. 1863 [[ditto]] | 3677 | " | Wilhelm & Carl Fester (ch) | 18 | [[ditto]] | [[ditto]] | [[ditto]]

The REGISTER itself (FH-84's ask), not the alphabetical index already cited on this event (see the other citation, from source #1811). Located by date: Heussler's Beausite declarations occupy certs 3650 upward, dated 28-29 Sept 1863, on this one page-opening. The claim is split across two certificates: adults Christian + the two Ernestines under 3676 (3 full fares, GBP54) and Wilhelm & Carl explicitly marked '(ch)' i.e. children under 3677 (2 half-fares, GBP18) - matching the index's flat 5-name claim 63.1282 exactly, and adding that Wilhelm/Carl are recorded as children of the household. IMPORTANT: this register carries NO age column at all - contrary to FH-84's premise that the register would supply ages to discriminate #82626's household from #82407's, it cannot do that. Verdict on the #82407/#82626 identity question is unchanged: NOT PROVEN. No merge follows from this citation.
