Hi Valorie, did you see any Peter on those lists? Unfortunately I don't have any info except he was born Mochrum 1851 living in Liverpool in 1861 census, age 10. There is just a chance he went to US but know nothing more except his parents Owen Macqueen or McQuinn. He would be about 30+ in 1881. Just a chance you might find him. I have given up.

MacQueen 12, Mac Queen 2. The website says, in part: CastleGarden.org offers free access to an extraordinary database of information on 10 million immigrants from 1830 through 1892, the year Ellis Island opened.... From 1855 to 1890, the Castle was America's first official immigration center, a pioneering collaboration of New York State and New York City. CastleGarden.org is an invaluable resource for educators, scholars, students, family historians, and the interested public. Currently the site hosts 10 million records, and support is needed to complete the digitization of the remaining 2 million records, beginning in 1820, from the original ship manifests. Have fun!
