Your Ancestors may have made it to the USofA. If you belong to Ancestry.com they have a listing of ships that landed in this country. Another place to look is on a CD "The Search for MIssing Friends, Irish Immigrrant Advertisments Placed in the Boston Pilot-1831-1920". You may be able to get this CD on loan from a local Family History Center of LDS. This CD has a large background section giving data on how many people left Eire, a percentage breakdown by Irish County, ports of departure, and other background information. Then year by year it will give the notices of people seeking people and the contacts who will receive the information. Although The PILOT was a Boston Based News paper it published ads from all over the US and from Ireland. Hence a wife and children arriving in New York, and expecting to be met by a husband/father and doesn't find this person would publish an ad naming the person, when last heard from, where and with whom the person was staying at the time of the last ontact, and any stated plans that person had made known. A contact would also be named. The disc, which is broken down into 5 volumes, contains a great deal of data, and requires A LOT OF PATIENCE to go through it. I hope this has been of some help.
