Well if you were looking for the passenger lists to find this there would be none, as the mode of transport to and from Ireland across the waters were and still are simply a ferry system, but should they have booked on a ship from Ireland to USA or Australia or somewhere else further than the UK, it might be possible to locate them on a second leg of their journey, now that was in the beginning by 1910 etc there were Shipping agents taking bookings for lands further on. Now they could have left from any Port to UK.............it was not necessarily the closest port to the place of living my searches now show me never to discount that a person arriving in Australia did not come via this route, into Canada, down through the States into New Zealand and on to Australia Then of course you had those persons like Father Hore who actually lead a group of people to the States, then you had the Fitzwilliam eststate clearance movement where ships were hired and left via New Ross, the possibilities of where they left from is endless, people from Wicklow left via Dublin stopped off in Plymouth and then dispersed to other parts of the world. Passenger lists are more likely to be found at the port of disembarkation than at the port of departure, unless a shipping agent was used, but there again it is locating the shipping agents ancient records that are still being ellusive to myself. I have duly noted also that Wexford people on the odd time did leave Dublin for unknown parts other than UK. Then you have to allow for the errant seaman that worked a ship and jumped off on any shore he desired as his new home. Then of course there was the herdsman who travelled on the cattle boats, and didnt come home again. Then of course there was the smaller vessels that simply would have taken a passenger to his destination for a fee no records kept. So the never ending possibilities grows of where they may have left from, so who is you are seeking and where did they end up??
