Hello Andy, There was a direct rail link between Grimsby and Liverpool which was frequently used by European emigrants to America. The Great Central Railway Co operated passenger shipping services between Grimsby - Hamburg, Rotterdam and Antwerp at the time.

Ted, Thanks for the info! Looking at the link and cross-referencing ship arrivals in Dutch newspapers around the date they arrived, I believe the ship they traveled on was the Lutterworth. (Ain't the Internet a wonderful thing!)
