The Ship's List - Ships to and from Nova Scotia 1815-1838 is a good source for many of the ship's that sailed Ireland to Nova Scotia. The NS Archives in Halifax have archived custom returns for many of the passengers but no master list of who entered the country. The list names ships leaving from Cork, Waterford and Wexford. The volume of traffic was fairly low pre 1828 but started to pick up around this time. What you don't see pre 1825 is the ships that landed at Arichat, Richmond County, Cape Breton. Cape Breton was annexed to Nova Scotia in 1820. Searching through this site gives a plethora of information even a few passenger lists of landings in Pictou. Many of our ancestors arrived in Canada/Cape Breton before record keeping was mandatory. A point of note: There was a large influx of Irish circa 1819 - 1824 settling in the Richmond County and Inverness County regions and in all of Cape Breton 1828-1830. It seems that a significant number of the Irish to Cape Breton were from Wexford: Doyle's, Kavanaugh's, Kehoe's, Keating's, Fortune's etc. with others from Waterford, Cork and Tipperary. Early Irish enclaves here were Isle Madame, the Margaree's and the Port Hood/Mabou area.

John, Jill and others...I should have included a time frame for my ancestors leaving Galway via Cork. It was much later...the 1880s.

Great discussion, I made the trip of my lifetime to Ireland in October and this has always been one of the burning questions, what was the port of emigration? Depending on who I talked to among the elders in the family at the time, and when asked where did the family come from, there was mention of two Counties, Wexford and Cork. Records have since determined that the family lived in Wexford leaving the conclusion that Cork must have been the port of emigration?? I travelled the entire route from Enniscorthy, County Wexford to New Ross and then to Queenstown. Knowing that they probably travelled on foot or at the very least by horse and carriage, my question was why would they bypass New Ross. Of course, I have not been able to establish if my ancestor travelled alone but if he did, I concluded maybe, just maybe that he worked at different jobs along the route until he reached Cork. Being a Cooper, there would have been plenty of opportunities to find work in his trade.
