    1. Re: [DEV] Help with travel records
    2. Hello, Diana-- On 18 June 2016 you wrote, in part: >I am looking for help to find if there are passenger lists or other records of travel >from England to Ireland between 1879 and 1884. > >I am wanting to find out when Rose MARDON my great grandmother left England to go to USA. > >She must have gone to Ireland first - sometime between 1879 and 1884, as she is on the >passenger list of the ship “Ohio" arriving in Philadelphia USA on 13 May 1884 from >Ireland. We think she might have left England earlier than 1884. I double-checked this passenger list entry at Ancestry.com, since a number of ships that departed from English ports often stopped at Cobh/Queenstown (= Cork harbor) in Ireland on their way across the Atlantic. I've been unable to access the passenger list _image_, but Ancestry's data _summary_ ("record) says that Rose MARDON, born about 1858 IN IRELAND, last resident OF IRELAND, departed from LIVERPOOL on the ship "Ohio" and arrived in Philadelphia on 13 May 1884. It's _possible_ this ship began her voyage in Liverpool and then stopped in Ireland, as discussed above; or you may have to run your search in reverse! I'll keep trying to find an image of this passenger list, to be sure Ancestry's info is correct. It may take a while; maybe someone else can help with this search in the meantime. Hope you can clear this potential problem up soon! Sue Budlong in Falls Church, Virginia, U.S.A.
