Many people from Ukraine and Russia journeyed to Liverpool, and then took a ship to Canada or USA. The reason for this was that the cost of the trip from Liverpool was half of that from Hamburg or Bremen. My husband's grandparents travelled from Ukraine overland and then in a small boat to the British shore, and again overland to Liverpool. Just because they came on a boat from Liverpool doesn't necessarily mean they lived in England.
