Many of our ancestors may have left from Dublin Ire. or Belfast in NI. Both are huge seaports..........Liverpool is about an hour flight from Belfast so may have been by ferry in early days. They use many ferries now for people and cars etc. to go back and forth across to Scotland and England. They would have had to had quite a bit of money to get over to England to get on ships from there. We need Linda's idea on this. The poor in early 1720sand before when my family lines came over may not have had the money to go to England. Linda what's the truth on this?
