It put forth the supposition, and I am calling it a supposition, that if it were winter, the ships only went from Britain to the maritime provinces such as Nova Scotia. If it were summer time, the ships went on to Upper Canada, or the Toronto area. I am afraid my ancestor (Donald McGregor) whom I am most anxious to trace must have come in 1832 from Loch Rannoch, Perthshire, Scotland to Nova Scotia in winter, in the steerage, with no record, at least newspaper-wise, of the name of his ship, though there had to be a list at one time back in Scotland, which the captain of his ship had to keep. My guess is that his ship may have landed in Pictou, Pictou County, Nova Scotia, and it may also have stopped in Prince Edward Island, perhaps at Charlottetown PEI. If your ancestor was English, most likely your ancestor came to a port in Quebec where English settlers were heavily settled. Perhaps that narrows it down a bit for you. Pictou NS was heavily populated with Scots.

My "ship" question is 2-fold: has anyone found an early-1830 ship list from ENG to Quebec? and 2nd question: is there a list of "most popular ports" to leave ENG and come to CAN around 1830?
