Many thanks Anne & Vern for your various suggestions - especially the two ship links of which I was unaware and castlegarden.org. I shall add them all to my favourites.

You could try finding them on entry to the US, There is the Ellis Island site, http://www.ellisisland.org/ but that only starts from 1892 You might find something on http://www.theshipslist.com/ships/passengerlists/index.htm This might also help http://www.olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/ Also, don't ignore the fact that many people bound for New York entered the new world via Canada. Mine, who went to Ohio eventually, did. Anne
