I am new to the list.I am attempting to locate the ship (and manifest if possible) leaving Belfast on 29 Mar 1835 (believe date is exact) for Quebec. I am not aware if ship originated in Belfast.I do understand port of origin could be another port such as Liverpool. Passengers included:Bermard McMahon and wife JaneHugh McMahon (child)Catherine McMahon (child)Edward McMahon (child)Ellen McMahon (child)Jane McMahon (child) Mary McMahon (child)- died at seaBernard McMahon (child) John McMahon (child) -born at sea during tripI have searched several ship lists sites without success. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Would the death and birth of a child at sea provide any additional sources for locating the ship and it's record? Jerry

You may find what you want, or you may find a contact or clue to steer you further in the right direction Without knowing exactly *which* ships lists sites you searched, I don't know where to suggest that might be new to you! So, I'd try here. If you have done so already, without meaning to sound 'snippy' in any way -- it's a good idea to be specific when telling a list where you have searched. For example, maybe you only know of 2 sites to search, but I might know of 10. :-) http://www.theshipslist.com/ships.html http://ist.uwaterloo.ca/~marj/genealogy/strayships.html Immigrants to Canada: Stray Ships Covering the Period 1800 - 1864 You can also use the InGeneas search engine found on my site to search their free and their pay databases. You still get the index info free on their pay database and if you strike gold, you probably won't begrudge their fee for full details. http://olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/search_shipscanada.shtml And here is an article that may be of help Article: Immigration to Canada Before 1865, What's Available and Where to Find it http://olivetreegenealogy.com/articles/immcanpre1865.shtml Good luck!
