UK National Archives have put a new project 'Moving Here' online. "It includes 150,000 images and digitised documents charting the stories of Britain's four main immigrant communities: the Irish, central European Jews, south Asian immigrants and those from the Caribbean." (BBC Report) http://www.movinghere.org.uk/ See e.g., *An account of poor persons passed from the port of Liverpool to Ireland One of a series of 65 volumes which give details of Irish being shipped back from Liverpool in the years 1801 to 1835. This volume alone, which covers the period October 1834 to April 1835, records the shipping of 364 named individuals and their dependants, together totalling 769 men, women and children. The series is evidence of the high number of Irish migrating to England even before the impact of the Potato Famine. It reflects the number who were forced to return to Ireland due to destitution often brought on by the death of a husband, as can be seen from the relatively small number of husband+wife+children groups recorded.* It's new, so expect it to be busy for a while.
