Hi Sue, I can't thank you enough. This is most interesting, and I believe may indeed be who I am looking for. Dates coordinate very well, to match the assumed ages of Patrick and his Uncle Harrington. I will be looking for any other historical info regarding the Lady Sherbrooke as well. I have looked over the ships named for the trip over to Canada from Ireland, and they certainly do fit the picture. Do you know if these passenger lists will ever be transcribed? In my looking and hunting I found that there were several ports of departure in Ireland common at that time, and Waterford indeed could be the one they went to. Also, would there be any chance that Ireland records would have kept passenger list of those ships? Good luck with your continuing transcribing -- that is terrific work; so valuable to history and to those of us searching ancestry records!

Janet The passenger lists you want are not, for the most part, anywhere to be found. They did not have to be archived before 1865 so only a few exist. There are a few alternates, which I sent you in a previous email -- the JJ Cooke Shipping Records are the best (IMO) for Ireland to Canada in that time period.
