I wonder whether there is anyone who as access to passenger lists who would be willing to look up the arrival in America of Ralph Ireland from England in about 1851.

I would really appreciate any information which the passenger lists may contain regarding Ralph and anyone he may have been travelling with.

I have located Ralph on the 1900 United States Federal Census living in Nebraska. If there is anyone who has access to earlier Federal Census records I would really appreciate any information relating to Ralph in order that I can establish when he married and possibly the names of any children he may have had.

Annie Vernon Harper

brawlass — 2 Oct 2008 9:26:18 GMT

I have been trying to figure out who the great aunt was that my mum's twin sisters went to visit in Hamilton, Ontario in 1954. This aunt, who they called Auntie Polly but I think was actually, Annie Vernon Harper was born in 1880 in St Helens, Lancashire and was the daughter of Robert and Esther Harper (nee Dixon). Annie/Polly was married to a Jack Rowley who was a carpenter and may have had his own business making furniture. It is beleived that they both died in the 1960s.

I have no idea how she got to Canada or where and when she married Jack Rowley. Are there any trade directories for the 40' and 50' for Hamilton - if so would that help?

I have some photographs taken when the twin aunts were out there visiting but I can get no clue as to where about they were taken.

Another strange thing is that her parents Robert and Esther Haprer had a daugher named Anne born in 1868 and then another daughter vorn in 1870 but Annie Vernon was not born until 1880 when her mother was 35. The rest of the family appear onthe census right up to 1901 but I only have Annie Vernon Harper on the 1881 census>

All in all a puzzle - can anyone help or make suggestions as I am realy at a brick wall with this and I have no-one in the family to ask as they have all died.

Thanks for any help.

I'm trying to trace my wife's family's emmigration from the UK in about 1890 to South Africa.

Ship Betsey from Liverpool to New York in 1917

BradJHess — 22 Sep 2008 3:14:20 GMT

Hello all,

My ancestor John Iveson and family sailed out of Liverpool bound for New York on the ship Betsey in 1817. I have a copy of a diary that John wrote during this voyage that gives a very small description of the vessel and a chronology of it's voyage.

Through this journal I know a great deal about his trip but I was wondering if anyone knows any information about this ship. Would there be a passenger list for something this early?

Thank you!!

Alice had siblings Grace Elaine, born West Ham district, England 1884, Frances A born 1881 West Ham district and John P James born 1872 in Spotland, Glamorgan Wales. Any information could help with this family mystery! Thank you.

My ancestors came on the sailing ship called "Planter" in 1635. They landed in Boston. I have found the passager manifest, but I'm looking for more information on the vessel itself.

Anyone know any information on the vessel or any books that talk about it?

John R. Manning Sr and Jr visit the old country 1889

DennisDoyle45 — 27 Aug 2008 2:22:26 GMT

I am looking for the ship list records for John R. Manning Sr. and his son John Jr. in the year 1889. On 2/11/1889 John R. Manning Sr. (age 57) and son John R. Manning Jr. (age 19) received an approval on their application for passports. On the application (# 24547) John Sr. states his birth date (1833) in Ireland as well as his date of immigration (10/1850) from England and date of naturalization (10/26/1866). John Sr. is a banker who has lived in New York City and vicinity for 39 years. While the application states that they will return in six months, it does not state where they will be going. I assume they went to either Ireland or England. I am trying to get more details on the trip.

Mary O'Neal*..........IRELAND to US around 1861

chseasons — 15 Aug 2008 9:55:00 GMT

We searching for my Great Grandmother..........Mary Oneal*
We think she left Ireland for the USA in 1861-.........Her parents were, father James and her mother was Mary Sweeney. She was born in 1846. She married in Philadelphia, we think, to great grandfater William in 1868. I know she was naturalized around 1879 in Philadelphia. I have exhausted my limited knowledge to find out where she was from in Ireland and when she came to the USA. I have asked family and they have been told that she came to the US alone in the 1861 at the age of 18 and maybe she was from Tyrone. She died in 1920 in Philadelphia,Pa. We can't find a marriage certificate, but we keep on trying!
Any information would be welcome.
Thank you,

Looking for details on the passenger ship "American Congress"

thepinders — 29 Sep 2007 1:03:31 GMT

I have some ancestors that travelled to New York in 1850 in the passenger ship 'American Congress' . I am trying to find out some more details on the actual ship (Type , how many passengers it carried , what condition were like , cost of passage , maybe even a picture or drawing would be fantastic) but so far I can only find details of passenger lists. Does anyone know of a source for the kind of info I am looking for ?
Also the same ancestors returned home to London by 1858 (I think because the husband died in NY but I can't find any proof)
Does anyone know of a source for either :-
1) Death's in New York between 1850 and 1860 - to prove he died there
2) Births in New York - as I know they had at least 2 children in the time they were in NY
3) Passenger lists for people making the trip the other way across the pond , from New York to London . I can find all sorts of details for people who travelled from the UK to America , but nothing at all for those who went the other way.
Any and all advice and info would be much appreciated
Thanks

help with finding original port

tmccormack111 — 27 May 2008 1:07:57 GMT

I am new to this ancestry project. I think I have located my great grandfather's ship from the passenger list records for the port of New York. I have two questions about what to do next that I was hoping someone could answer for me.

1. How do you verify that the passenger on the passenger list is your relative?

2. How do you take the next step to determine where the ship stopped at before departing? In my case the ship came from Liverpool, but my ancestors are from Ireland. I want to found the county/town in Ireland but how do I get from a ship leaving Liverpool backward to the town/county where my relative is from?

Any help would be so greatly appreciated!

Record of Aliens Held for Special Inquiry

jaiben — 26 Jul 2007 10:33:35 GMT

Hi - wonder if anyone can help. I've found a relative [Fanny Bisgrove] who arrived in New York in 18 June 1923 but was held for Special Inquiry, eventually being free to land on 30 June 1923. The reason for inquiry is shown as EQ 100 - could anyone help as to what this stood for? I do know that LPC was used for those with insufficient funds to cover the fare as there are a further three passengers held on same ship for that reason.

Anna Glynn coming from England to NYC in 1883

DennisDoyle45 — 21 Jun 2008 12:12:57 GMT

I am looking for the Immigrant ship records of the arrival of Anna Glynn into New York City in 1883. She left from England. Anna was born in December of 1849 (she would have been 34 years old in 1883). She may have had her children or siblings with her. I am not sure which. I am trying to figure that out. Their names were Susan Glynn born 4/1867 (age 17 in 1883), Albert Glynn born 4/1870 (age 13 in 1883), and Jane or Jennie Glynn born 12/1871 (age 12 in 1883). I do not have the name of a father. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ship Passenger List

Bob and Jan Meyer — 18 Jun 1999 12:00:00 GMT

According to US Census Records, Benjamin Smith b. Sept 1857 and Sarah Jane Biscom b. May 1863 were residents of PA having been born in England.

From Cambria County PA I learned that he arrived from England 2 Aug 1884 and filed an intent to denounce UK citizenship on 8 Dec 1888. Does anyone out there know how I could find out where in England they may have come from and what ship may have arrived somewhere on the eastern US coast at that time. I think they were married when they immigrated.

Nobility entering port of NY

SABennett68 — 21 Jan 2008 1:37:22 GMT

There's an old family story that our ancestor, Joseph Justin McCarthy (1885-1944) was in the employ of the Earl of Listowel (Co. Kerry, Ireland) and traveled with the Earl to the United States. I've been researching the peerage and believe (if the story is true at all) it may have been the 4th Earl, Richard Granville Hare. However, if the Earl did, in fact, travel to the US, wouldn't he have gone through the same process that all other arrivals did (i.e. be listed on a passenger manifest)? Or were the nobility exempt from that since they had no intention of immigrating? I haven't been able to find any mention of Richard Hare or his father, the 3rd Earl, coming to the US.

Thanks in advance!

Passenger lists

smithshr — 3 Oct 2008 7:37:19 GMT

Hello:

I am trying to find out where Maud Emma Dopson, nee Handicott ended up after 1920. I can not find death or burial records on FreeBMD for her in either name so I am going to assume she immigrated elsewhere.

She would have relations in England and Australia, and posssibly in New York and Canada.

Maud was born Uxbridge England Jan 14 1892 and married Frederick Thomas Dopson, who filed for divorce in 1919 but it appears she did not grant him one and his new wife, Emma legally changed her last name to match her husbands.

Maud apparently had a lover named David Floyd or Floyd David - the documents are confusing at best. She may or may not have been able to remarry and may or may not have continued a relation with this man....

Any help locating her would be appreciated.

George W Scott

mjstockman — 29 Aug 2007 9:48:07 GMT

I am searching for info on my great-great-great-grandfather George W Scott. All I have from the family is the following:

1. emmigrated to USA in 1788 from Yorkshire, England and came to Fly Creek, Otsego Co, New York

2. wife Alice

3. son Samuel (b.1809, d.12/26/1891) m.2/5/1832 Anna Shields Patton (b.1815, d.8/27/1907)

4. sold farm (one mile above village of Fly Creek) in 1823 to John Lumley, also of England

5. moved to Albany, Ny after selling the farm

I have no information on George's birth, death, or parents; I have no idea whether Alice was from the USA or came over from England with George or came over to the USA from somewhere else. I have located Alice's burial site, and have loads of information about their 14 children, but George is "MIA". I'm especially interested in George's background, as he was supposed to be a member of Clan Scott, even though he came here from Yorkshire, England. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Trip time, Hamburg-Liverpool-New York, 1866 ???

cwitze — 18 Apr 2008 5:22:17 GMT

I'm going to have to bite the bullet and examine NY passenger lists name by name. How long would this trip take? I suspect by steamship would be faster, sailing ship a lot more, but it was 1866 so maybe not that much difference. Please be as specific as you can, I'm trying to estimate on what day my ancestor might have arrived in NY after his departure date from L'pool. Related question: he went to L'pool from Hamburg via boat and train, the "indirekt" route...how long would one typically wait in L'pool before you caught a boat to NY?

NEED CREW LISTS 1892-1905

JLOCali209 — 5 Apr 2008 10:31:55 GMT

HEllo my name is Jeniffer Baker/Ovatt. I have posted a few threads about my slovak Roots.. I just wanted to update anyone who is helping me research my family line. OVATT. Slovak family.. I found our yesterday that my Great grandfather John Ovat was a Steriage, or crew member on a few ships before he actually seTtled in the US. I have been looking for Ship Crew Lists Between 1890-1906. I know for sure he was settled in the US by 1906. So I believe he worked on the ships a few years until he made enough money to bring his wife Mary gemer/Jamer/Gamel? to the us and settle here. If anyone knows of any links to Crew Members of Ships between 1890-1906. I do not know what year or ship He worked on, but I know that John OVatt/Ovat was his name but Is was spelled european like Janos, or jan, ect. So I dont know the exact spelling.. I just need some help looking for Crew members Records for all Parts of the Eastern and Southern part of the US... Please let me know.. Thanks all you fellow Family Researchers!! Here is a copy of my past threads.. and family info...

(past Threads)

Hello my name is Jeniffer (Ovatt) Baker.. . My family came from the
Slovakia, Austrian Hungarian empire.. We dont have any immigration
information yet. All we know Is that My great great grandparents came
here to america areound 1900-1905. We know that they were supposedly
born in Austria, but everyone I have spoken too from their community in
Brookside, Warrior area of Alabama, they said they always were told they
were SLOVAK?? I need some help with my research I have access to many
websites,including a paid subscription to Ancestry.com, I have been at a
Brick Road with my family for about 4 years... I have found no census
record or any immigration.. I live in California and they lived in
Alabama from 1906 until their deaths.. I know that I have found many
typos in my family last name. OVAT. OVATT. Ovath. ect.. just to let you
know... Oh.. I know all the men in the family were Coal miners in
Kentucky and maybe other unknown states?? My main goal is to fnd
immigration and naturalization for my family... I need all the help I
can get.. have researched every website.. for years and anything you
find is all the information I have put online.. No other Ovatt's
exsist..Or it seems that way....
The Ovat/Ovatt's settled in Republic, Warrior, and Brookside areas of
Jefferson County, Alabama.
John and Mary are Buried at a
Catholic church in Brookside Alabama called St. Micheals.. They are
buried in
the part of the cemetary where the Slovensky familiy is Buried... I know
they had
some close friends of the last name "Harvella" and "Shima" .Maybe if
there are anyone in those families who know anything? I think that
they immigrated in between 1897 & 1905 maybe even through canada,
or the south..... I know that John and Mary were maybe married before
they came
to america, and the oldest son mike was born there also.. I believe....
John and Mary Spoke no english!

Ship from England to Nova Scotia, 1855

KatNS — 16 Mar 2008 2:40:37 GMT

Hi. My great great grandfather, Edward BALLS / STONE, his wife, Mary, and three children, Edward, Robert and Alice, moved from Yaxley, Huntingshire County, England to Halifax County, Nova Scotia about 1855. How do I find out which ship that they came across on? Edward's father surname was Balls/Bauld and his stepfather was Stone. So the passenger list could be in either, since he used BALLS in England and Stone in Nova Scotia. Any help in finding the name of the ship, would be appreciated. Thanks.

Help Please with Passenger Lists

KarenDouglas19 — 10 Mar 2008 10:05:38 GMT

I would be grateful if someone could look up passenger lists for the following as I can't find any trace.

Richard Geen b1836 married Jane Holland b1835 in 1863 in Barnstable Devon. They then went at some point to USA and had a daughter Lily Geen b1867 and a son John Geen b1871. They then returned to Bideford Devon and had another daughter Annie b1873.

I can find Lily in the 1891 and 1901 census after she married Edward Collyer in 1884 where it does say she was born in the USA.

Thanks

If any one can spare the time I would be grateful for any information on their journey to and from the USA.

kypreo6 — 14 Mar 2008 9:40:04 GMT

Hi,

Would anyone be able to help me with some more information on when my great great grandmother came to Australia. All I know is that Emily Smith, from Stratford/Stretford, Essex the daughter of George Smith and Catherine Hart, arrived in Australia somewhere in the late 1880s, early 1890s. She was born in 1868 and would have been either in her early or mid 20s at the time. She was single and unmarried.

It is believed she migrated to Rockhampton, Queensland, Australia, as she married there in 1893 to August Moore. She may have also possibly have arrived in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.

Any help is very much appreciated.

Regards,

Anthony

Our family has a Peter Stam arriving in Phillidelphia on 23 Sept 1734 on the ship Hope Galley from Rotterdam by way of Cowes departing Cowes about 13 Aug 1734.
We traveled to Rotterdam and visited the "archives building" with very little results. Also visited the Amsterdam "Maritime Musium" with no results.
Does anyone know of a "list" being kept in the UK with details of passanger origins in that period.

British Shipping Companies

miss_katie — 29 Feb 2008 2:33:48 GMT

Hello,

I am currently trying to trace the history of a family that emigrated from England to Australia in 1839. Having hit a dead-end I am trying a new approach. The patriarch of the family was a sea captain and so I'm trying to trace his history as the captain of the 'Golden Grove'.

Essentially what I'm hoping I can be given some assistance with is in finding out if anyone is aware of what happened to the shipping company that built the vessel as they might be the best place to source the captain's history.

The Leighton Co built the ship and so if anyone knows the history of the company or has come across it in some fashion whilst researching any help would be most appreciated.

Otherwise, being not from England myself I am having some difficulty in tracing British records and knowing how to do so. Alternatively, if anyone can help me in this area again it would be most appreciated.

Kind regards,
Miss_Katie.

Immigration to Canada after ww1

carefulcat — 26 Dec 2007 3:13:11 GMT

Hello to all rootsweb users.

I seek to find the ship my grandmother would have come to Canada on after WW1. she was born in 1912 and her mother remarried when her 1st husband (sidney handicott) died in the war in 1916. She married Robert Hamilton Wood. Her maiden name was Lily Elizabeth Radbourne - I know my grandmother used the name wood on legal documents so i believe she was adopted in England or in early years in Canada.

Trying to find the ship they came to Canada in - living in Toronto Ontario I am told upon arrival. Not sure where to start - did ships go to Toronto or to Halifax or Montreal in those days?

Robert was a soldier in the Canadian Army so could they have come back to Canada on a war ship? How do i search for records?

Thanks to all and happy holidays
