I'm trying to find someone before they arrived in NY. According to census records, he arrived in 1882...by himself. I'm also having trouble finding him before he settled in OH since he arrived, married and settled between census records. Word in the family, he's from Clare but I've yet to validate it.

Too early, that's a shame. If he'd left Liverpool eight years later, it would have been worth looking at the Ancestors Abroad database on www.findmypast.com. It would help if you could give as much information as you know about your man, eg name, age, wife's name, children's names, where he said he was from in the censuses. What sources have you checked? He may have stayed in Liverpool for a while, but he may have gone to Manchester for work if he'd had to wait any length of time for a berth on an emigrant ship. He may have gone into Canada, then crossed into the US. Have you looked at the border crossing records? I'm not sure if they are in the Canadian records or the American. I'm sure someone will know.
