I've come into this at the tail end but have a question. I was told many went to Liverpool on small boats to catch the big ships. And the ships' log only would only list Liverpool.......not where the person boarded in Ireland. My great grandfather came in 1875 and his papers only list Liverpool. In fact I've not found any paper where he listed a town or county in Ireland. But he was born in Ireland..........a fact. Thanks for trying to clarify this for me.

You could put the names in the 1841 and 1851 census yourself and specify born in Ireland, I need to do that myself as I have some that I can't trace and that is the only place left. Some immigrants went to Liverpool to go abroad and then could not afford the fares and remained there and in other parts of England http://www.movinghere.org.uk/about/default.htm people moving to England http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html# Here is a free place for the 1841 and 1861 census UK.

Reply to Barbara Hello Assisted Immigrants to NSW and Victoria, Australia in the 1837-1870 period are shown as from a County and Village or Parish in Ireland and the List shows parent's names and whether they are dead or alive and where living. This is on the Immigration Board List. Sometimes the List does not survive. Unassisted immigrants to Victoria show just Ireland or if ticked wrongly as England. It is only a column. We have good records in Australia but I do not know what American records show. I imagine that they went from Ireland to Liverpool by Regular ferry service or steamer..
