** Bob - the UK government had no further interest in people who were leaving this realm, so they did not ask for any documentation. The vessel had a passenger list on embarkation, but that was handed over to the authorities at the destination end. That is the documentation you will have, and it is the ONLY documentation relevant to the transportation. It is only much later that the UK government kept records of international movement of people. There was no record kept of movement within the UK, as that was all within the one jurisdiction. Gordon.

I've got the arrival information on a gg-grandfather and the girl who would be his first wife. They left from Greenok Scotland and arrived in New York, New York on Auguts 29, 1832. Whil it is great to have the arrival info (finally) it would help to identify further family (maybe) with any type of departure record. I'm thinking that there has to be some type of tax document or something available since the people were immigrating. Any idea's?
