I was researching the 1851 England census and came across a Boarding House on Union Street in Liverpool with interesting notations. Many emigrants would arrive at an emigration port, like Liverpool, and have to spend a few days waiting to embark on a ship. They would usually stay at a Boarding House ... often one which usually catered to emigrants from a certain country, or region. I found a group of Welsh with the notation " Emigrants waiting to sail from the port. " Unfortunately it did not indicate TO which country, but I thought I would include them here. The 1851 Census for England was taken on the night of 30th March 1851, so they likely sailed early April.
