Where to find immigration info 1870?

jmfoobar — 27 Sep 2008 6:56:52 GMT

Hi -

I'm pretty new to this searching and I know that one of my relatives (ancestors) came to NY or Phila in 1872. However, I don't know her last name.

Where would I even begin to look for records to pore over?

Isabella - married to George W Sly (in Philadelphia)
- born in Ireland 1855
- George may have been a second husband
- was probably around 16 when she immigrated.

This is not even remotely easy :)

Thanks.

Passenger lists for Ireland to US about 1800

brokenbranches4148 — 12 Sep 2008 12:46:07 GMT

Hello;
I'm searching for the ship that carried Patrick McCloskey from Ireland to the US about 1800. I think he probably came to PA as that is where he settled. He may have been traveling with a wife, Ann and a young son Patrick. Details about his early life are sketchy at best, but naturalization paper filed by a Patrick McCloskey in Cambria Co where I find this family indicate they were from Londenberry. The date of the papers 1842 would mean it was the son Patrick that had filed these since I believe the father Patrick died between 1830-1840.
Any help in locating their trip from Ireland to the US would be greatly appreciated.

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

DennisDoyle45 — 27 Aug 2008 2:21:28 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.

Thomas Mann Ireland to New York 1846-1850

I am looking for Thomas Mann (born around 1831), born in Ireland. He was in the 1850 US Census in Elgin, IL. I believe he came to the US from Ireland sometime between 1846 and 1850 with his brother Martin (born around 1832). There may have been a third brother who made the trip with him (may have been named Michael) I believe his parents stayed in Ireland. any help you can provide would be awesome. Dennis

SS Fernaci 1872?

scmc715 — 1 May 2008 12:13:37 GMT

I am trying to find a passenger list for a ship called Fernaci. It sounds Italian to me but I don't know for sure.

The vessel name is listed on a Petition for Naturalization for a McCurdy ancestor of mine. She does not seem to have been well educated and therefore the name might not be exactly correct but that is what was typed on the petition.

The ship arrived at New York on December 26, 1872. I presume that it came from Ireland as that is where this ancestor emmigrated from.

Does the vessel name "Fernaci" ring any bells for anyone?

Any thoughts?

John Stanley from Ireland to Canada to Vermont

MorganCole34 — 20 Mar 2008 2:58:42 GMT

I'm looking for passenger info, if there is any, on my ggg-grandfather John Stanley. He was born between 1824-1830 in Ireland. Where he was born in Ireland, where he left from, who he left with, when he left....all unknown. He left from the time he was born to about 1851. I don't know if he arrived on the USA side or the Canadian side. But in Aug 07 1851 he married his wife at St. Andrew`s Church in Quebec, Canada. I'm mainly trying to find where and when he was born in Ireland. I've been looking all over the internet for passenger lists for him to no avail. Actually, I have not found any STANLEY' (surname) as passengers, except two and they were females. My Stanley line, except my gg-grandmother John' daughter, and John' son David, all seemed to have disappeared from Orange Co., Vermont after the 1880 census. So I am unable to look for any will he may have had or even a death cert. Any help is appreciated.

Garvin from 1830

teburton1 — 26 Dec 2007 3:42:56 GMT

Is anyone familiar with men coming across on ships from Ireland? They were sailors. There is some sort of a list of ships during that time. I had the link and I lost it. My Garvin was a steward when he came to Florida in 1850. I lose track of him once he gets to the US and before he gets to the coast of Florida.
Any suggestions? He is one of my brick walls.

1881 Immigration from Ireland

hilarym99 — 24 Dec 2007 4:43:31 GMT

Hello all. Bit of a genealogy newbie, and am finding that passenger lists seem to be the bane of my existence as far as ease of finding.

I am looking to find out how my G-G-Grandfather, Edward McDevitt got here. Censuses for him give different years, but I found some old newspaper articles about him that give his year of immigration as 1881, so I'm going with that one. I know he settled in Orange, Essex Co, New Jersey from 1881 to 1887, where he married Mary Brady in 1885, before moving on to permanently settle in Johnstown, PA.

He was born in 1859 in Donegal County Ireland. Because he was in northern NJ for a bit, I'm GUESSING he came into New York. I know he was one of 13 children, and his parents names were Andrew and Rose. I have no idea whether he traveled alone or with family.

I have as of yet been unable to find him on any immigration databases. I haven't been able to find many ship lists for 1881. Does anyone know what the usual port of departure for people living in Donegal was? A list of ships that came in with people from Ireland in 1881? Also, should I be looking for naturalization records in Pennsylvania or New Jersey? Would finding the marriage license for he and Mary provide any information regarding his immigration/naturalization? I would really appreciate any info! Thanks!!

McKenzie - crossed out on passenger list

EBlyth|MA734983 — 30 Nov 2007 12:33:21 GMT

I believe I have found a relative William McKenzieand son Wm McKenzie age 10, on the Peruvian, ships passenger list at the Canadian archives
http://www.collectionscanada.ca/archivianet/passenger/001045...
The ship shows under the dates March 10and 11, 1884, It originated from Liverpool but on the last page there is a list of passengers that embarked at Londonderry. Willaim and his son are listed, but then crossed out. I have search ships before and after and am coming up empty handed. William signed homestead papers in Canada in April 1884, so he got here somehow. anybody have any suggestions as to what may have happened or where I could look next
thanks

From Ireland to South America

stackers74 — 5 Oct 2007 5:27:27 GMT

I've got a doozy for those who know their Irish History. Some 2,000-2,500 Irish soldiers were recruited to go down to Portugal/Brazil/Venezuala around 1810-1815. One of those people was my GGGG Grandfather (I'm generation 7, he was 1 so whatever that makes him). His name was Thomas Stack, and he and his wife and two kids went down to South America (location assumed to be Brazil) and eventually came to Miramichi, NB, around 1820. I have them from 1825 onward here in Canada and have a general assumption that they came from Ardfert or Kilflynn in County Kerry ... however, does anyone have any information on the Irish who left to go to South America to help beat on Napoleon?

Hi

John and Mariah Clark, with at least three sons, Joseph Clark, James Clark, william E. Clark, My G.G..Grandfaher, and a fouth son,Daniel Marron Clark, born at sea.

Unfortunately, I do not have the name of the ship.

SHIPS FROM IRELAND 1877

cris — 10 Aug 2006 7:03:20 GMT

Can someone please help point me in the right direction??
Iam researching my greatgrandparents Maurice Langan and Margaret Kennelly Langan who immigrated to the United States from Ireland with their children, and settled in Platte Center Nebraska in 1877 (they first lived in St. Anthonys Parish according to an obituary,but according to resources St. Anthonys wasnt in existence until the early 1900's)
I cannot find any information at all on the ship, where they entered the USA etc. I do know its wasnt through Ellis Island...Iam told perhaps they sailed through the St. Lawrence Seaway and into Canada or NY.. I have searched the Ships Guild and Ellis Island and several others but with no luck.
Any one with any suggestions?
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Robert Taylor & Co. Engager for Irish Immigrants to USA

BillMartin2244 — 16 Oct 2007 3:23:43 GMT

Do you know where I might find a list of the persons who engaged the McCorkle Lines in 1865 for passage of Irish persons traveling to America?

In the 1800s, a company in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, "Robert Taylor & Co.", provided a service arranging ship's passage for Irish Immigrants to America. The process was called "engaging" the shipping line.
The procedure was for some person in America to pay the fare [to Robert Taylor & Co.] to allow someone in Ireland [possibly a relative] to travel to America.
Robert Taylor & Co. would then find a steamship line offering passenger service, and pay for a ticket from Ireland to America.

For example:
The McCorkle Lines were Engaged, on 9 March 1865, by Robert Taylor & Co., to carry John & William Martin from Londonderry to New York.
They sailed on the ship "Stadacona", leaving Londonderry 25 April 1865.
I am trying to learn the name of the person in America who paid for the passage of John and William Martin, since that may give me a clue for further research in America.
The Ulster Historical Foundation was unable to find records of those persons who engaged the McCorkle Lines. The Public Records Office of Northern Ireland told me they do not have such records. The book "Irish Passenger Lists, 1847-1871, Londonderry to America" by Brian Mitchell has good information but not the name of the "engager" in America.
Do you know where I might find a list of persons who engaged the McCorkle Lines in 1865 for passage of Irish persons traveling to America?

Thank you for the advice.

Ships from Glin Limerick to St. John 1842?

lizzydow — 29 Jul 2007 11:56:02 GMT

Good Evening,
I am wondering if there is a source for ships arriving from Limerick, specifically Glin, to St. John N.B. in 1842? I am researching John (Mc) Kearney who came to St. John in 1842 from Glin. He was born in Glin in 1819. He married Mary Scanlon at some point. I am trying to figure out if they were married in Ireland or in Canada or Maine. I am also curious about the type of ship he came across on and if he had family with him.

Any advice would be great! Thank you! Liz

Ireland to Saint John NB 1836

Ash McKnight — 21 Sep 2006 7:01:36 GMT

I'm looking to find the ship and passanger list of a ship that came from Ireland in 1836 to the port of Saint John New Brunswick Canada. I know that's not much to go on but if anyone had any info it would be very much appreciated. The reason I want the list is to see if the county and town in Ireland that my family is from is listed, I don't know where they came from- and through the place name I'm going to search for my existing family in Ireland wherever they may be.

ships from Ireland to Great Britain

Vosetree — 3 Apr 2007 1:11:12 GMT

Does anyone know if there is a record from ships Ireland to Great Britain? Also, a ship called "Morning Light" left Liverpool in April and arrived May 6, 1857 in New York. Does anyone know why the complete Morning Light manifest would state that all passengers originated from Great Britain? I know my Wiley family were born in Ireland, and this appears to be a typo because this is defintely the entire family. They left Ballybay, probably leaving Belfast and going to Liverpool to taken the ship to America. If anyone has any insight or knows about this "Morning Light" vessel (there are no pictures on ancestry), I would appreciate it.

Flora Church — 8 Nov 2003 9:43:56 GMT

I'm looking for any information on a ship that might have sailed from Dublin, Ireland to Virginia about 1761. According to family lore in several lines of the family, Annie O'Bryan came to Virginia from Dublin in 1761. I have searched several major websites and do not find ships that sailed to Virginia-- to Boston, to Baltimore, to New York-- but not Virginia. Can anyone suggest other avenues of research? Thanks.

Hi Al,

I'm reposting this message to the ancestry message board.

I've been searching for four PURCELL brothers from Nenagh, Tipperary who were to have come over in 1851. We don't know if they came together or separately, so this may be asking a lot of you!

Their names (oldest first) are:

Thanks for your kind offer. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Ireland to New Orleans stowaways

RaVaeAnn — 2 Jul 2007 3:07:54 GMT

Hello and I thank anyone in advance if they can help b/c this is not going to be easy, if even possible. My ancestor and his brother arrived in the U.S. as very young stowaways, 9 and 11 years of age. My ancestor was born in Ireland, supposedly, abt 1939, and his brother in abt 1937. I can only find one ship that arrived in New Orleans from Ireland during the time they supposedly arrived in the U.S., the Thomas Wright, arr 1949. I have searched that ship's passenger list, but couldn't find any similar children. These two brothers caught another "ride" up the Mississippi River, then the Missouri River ..... my ancestor stopping in Hermann, Missouri, and his brother continuing on up the Missouri. We have absolutely no idea where the brother "landed." My ancestor was taken in by the Boatwright (prob Daniel and Sarah) family in Loutre (sometimes referred to as Lower Loutre) Township, Montgomery County, Missouri. This family was found in Virginia in the 1840 census and in Missouri in the 1860 census (with no mention of my ancestor). I could not find the Boatwright family in the 1850 census. Would they have been elusive b/c of the presence of my ancestor? My ancestor and his wife (maiden name Stephenson) are listed on the 1860 census as well, along with others in the household that have the last names of Burks and Callaway. I have no idea what their connection would be. My ancestor went by the last name of Wright. Would this have been an Irish surname, or was it used b/c of the ship's name, the caretakers' name, etc., etc.? Short of DNA testing to find a common ancestor, have I missed another way to find family and connections? I think it's going to take a miracle to solve this puzzle, but I still believe in miracles. Thank you again.

William Harvey emigrating from Ireland to Newfoundland (Freshwater/Carbonear)

SeonaidL — 22 Apr 2007 8:27:31 GMT

Can someone please advise where Irish immigrants to Newfoundland were most likely to have landed?

I am trying to trace my ancester William Harvey, who settled in Freshwater near Carbonear (near St Johns). As I can't find a birth cert for William, I am guessing he was born in Ireland, and emigrated sometime between his birth and the date of his marriage (1803–1830).

I realise that potentially there are numerous ports of entry in Canada and the US that they might have landed, but if someone could give me a couple of likely possibilities of where to start my search, I would be most grateful.

Researching: WILLIAM HARVEY born 1803, died Freshwater, 26 Aug 1888

Buried in the Methodist Cemetery, Freshwater on 28 Aug 1888.

Believed to have been married to Jane Newell (or Noel) on 5 Dec 1830,
at Blackheath Methodist. Father of John William (x2), Theresa,
Cornelia Jane, William Wesley, James, Jesse, Charlotte, Mary Lavinia.

My William Harvey is believed to have emigrated from Ireland year
unknown. His father may have been "John".

Thanks and regards SEONAID

John Caldwell - Londonderry, Ireland to Philly, 1735

MaryBoudreau51 — 14 May 2007 6:01:46 GMT

We are looking for the ship that John Caldwell (b. 9 Jan 1682/83, Lononderry, Ireland) sailed to America on. He married Margaret Phillips (b. 6 Sep 1685) and the couple were married on 16 Mar 1701.

We were told that John Caldwell sailed from Ireland to Philly in 1735. I presumed the departure port was Londonderry, Ireland. Also, if you find the ship that he was on could you send the passenger list, because we are also looking for John Waller, or any Wallers, who might be on the same ship.

Later, the Caldwells settled in the Lundenburg County, Virginia area.

Thanks,

Also, in 1847 a WIlliam Chambers arrived in on this ship from Philadelphia. Any additional information would be great...i.e. town he was from, parents names, etc.

I would guess this would probably be impossible to find.

Ships from Londonderry (?), Ireland to Philadelphia in 1788 or 1789

michellekingcranbrook — 17 Oct 2006 7:59:54 GMT

I am looking for any information on James Fleming coming to the US in about 1789. From what I currently have, he came with his brother, Andrew from Ireland (I assume Londonderry as thier father is thought to have had subtantial property there) in that year. I have no idea what ship he came over on.
James was born in Londonderry, Ireland in 1760 and came to Canada from the US in about 1796.
Any information on James is greatly appreciated, but I would like to especially know where exactly he came from and if Andrew or any other family came with him.

Looking for immigration information on.....

Robert GILMORE born in either Ireland or Scotland in 1780. He came to the US between 1780 and 1830, perhaps even before 1819. (Marriage record in Virginia is unclear.)

His parents were Archibald & Jane GILMORE. I don't know if they came with him to the US. And, I don't know who Robert's siblings were.

Robert GILMORE settled in Rockbridge County, Virginia. He may have been a teacher in Lexington, Virginia. In either 1819 or 1849 in Rockbridge County, Virginia, he married Margaret "Peggy" BRADLEY, daughter of William BRADLEY and Elizabeth WHITMAN (daughter of Catherine CARLOCK and Matthew WHITMAN, both born in Holland)

When did Robert GILMORE immigrate to the US? What was the name of the ship? Which port did he arrive at? Was he alone or with other GILMOREs?

If you hit the reply button on this message, I probably won't receive your reply....so please email me here.

Northern Ireland to New York 1860-63

Diana Williams — 17 Jul 2006 4:21:27 GMT

Brick wall I can't climb alone. I have tried for six years. Margaret BURNS (BYRNES) was about 16 yrs. old when she came to America from Banbridge, Co. Down, Northern Ireland in 1860-63. I wonder if she came alone. She may have been on a ship with McCartans or McCartens. She may have been with family. She may have come as a domestic. I only know she didn't stay in NY--seemed to go to Wisconsin almost immediately which makes me think she may have come to join family or had a job before she left Ireland. She married 4 years later and a Catherine McCartan was her bridesmaid. Her obituary never mentions family. I would be so grateful for help. Diana Williams

I'm trying to find an immigration date/ship for John and Sarah Steacy. They were married in Ferns about 1804 and John became a US citizen in 1818. Think they may have arrived about 1811. They settled in Lancaster County, PA so I'm thinking they may have come through Philadelphia or Baltimore. Not sure if they came together with children, or perhaps John Steacy came first, possibly with his father-in-law, Edward Steacy.
