Find Ancestors

Need name and year of birth, also port of departure and arrival if known, and approximate year of travel.

There are NO lists of ships sailing to UK from Ireland. The only Irish records are where ships stopped in Ireland before completing the journey to UK.
There a very few Europeans records, mostly Australia, India, Asia, Africa, USA, Canada, some China and Japan.

Yes please Julia

There are lots of James O'Hara's, many without birthdates.

If you have any further info I'll willingly trawl through them all, but its a needle in a haystack situation at the moment.
Sorry

Julia

Hi Julia,

Yes that is my g-g-grandfather George Donaldson, many thanks I appreciate your lookup.

bye Helen

Hi J ulia
Thank you for your help i truly appreciate it.

Keith

Elizabeth

Cant find either Victoria Fraser or Victoria Duncan returning 1877- 1879.

When was George born? Maybe if I find him, she may be there as Mrs Duncan.

Julia

Elizabeth
Sorry, still nothing. Is it worth looking for her parents?

Julia

Hi Julia,

Could you please have a look for Josephine Kelly Born 1915, coming over from Ireland, possibly Waterford with her mother and father.

Her father was possibly Nicholas and mother possibly Mary.

I am unsure when they came over, however Josephine did marry in Oxford in 1935.

This has been my "brickwall" for a considerable time, very frustrating, so any info would be greatfully received.

Many, many thanks, Dee xx
