Until that year, shipping companies were not required by the government to keep their passenger manifests. There are search engines to search multiple websites for ships going to Canada at http://olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/search_shipscanada.shtml They include most ships lists on the Internet going to Canada and the online InGeneas databases for immigration to Canada 1800s ****************************************** Immigration Projects Online There are a few surviving passenger lists which were kept by shipping agents in the originating country. The Passenger Books of J & J Cooke, Shipping Agents gives sailings from Londonderry to Quebec and St. John New Brunswick from 1847 to 1871. These are online at http://olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/jjcooke.shtml ****************************************** Newspaper Arrivals TheShipsList website has Quebec ship arrivals extracted from contemporary newspapers.
