| Sources for Irish Immigrants to North America, 1803-1871: |
- Emigrants from Ireland to America, 1735-1743: A Transcription
of the Report of the Irish House of Commons into Enforced Emigration
to America
by Frances McDonnell
These lists of about 2,000 felons and vagabonds forcibly transported
from Ireland between 1735 and 1743 constitute one of the few known sources
of Irish emigration to the New World in the 18th century.
- Irish Passenger Lists, 1803-1806: Lists of Passengers Sailing
from Ireland to America
by Brian Mitchell
Altogether, some 4,500 passengers are identified in the 109 sailings
recorded in this transcription of the Hardwicke Papers, a rare official
register of passengers leaving Irish ports. Most individuals are cited
with their all-important place of residence, departing from the ports
of Dublin, Belfast, Londonderry, and Newry and destined mainly for New
York and Philadelphia. The Hardwicke lists, only fragments of which
have ever appeared in print, now fill a significant gap in the records,
since in many cases they will prove to be the only record of an ancestor's
emigration to the U.S.
- An Alphabetical Index to Ulster Emigration to Philadelphia,
1803-1850
by Raymond D. Adams
Based on U.S. Customs Passenger Lists, the manifests of the Cunard and
Cooke shipping lines and other sources, this work provides you with
a list of 3,200 emigrants from Londonderry to Philadelphia between 1803
and 1850. Each entry typically furnishes the name of the emigrant, his/her
age, town and country of origin (where given), year of emigration, and
name of ship.
- Passengers from Ireland: Lists of Passengers Arriving at American
Ports Between 1811 and 1817 (Transcribed from The Shamrock or Hibernian
Chronicle)
by Donald M. Schlegel
The core of this work is a reproduction of about 5,150 Irish passenger
listings that date from 1811 and 1815-1816 and were compiled by J. Dominick
Hackett and Charles Montague Early for the 1930 and 1931 editions of
The Journal of the American Irish Historical Society. Schlegel
has corrected some errors and omissions that appeared in the original
compilation, and has presented the lists in their original format so
that family groupings are apparent. Grouped together following the passenger
lists are a number of death notices and advertisements which may reference
a person's place of origin in Ireland or date of immigration. In all,
the names of 7,308 immigrants are included in this volume.
- Irish Emigration Lists, 1833-1839: Lists of Emigrants Extracted
from the Ordnance Survey Memoirs for Counties Londonderry and Antrim
by Brian Mitchell
These Antrim and Londonderry memoirs lists have been extracted, arranged
under parish, and alphabetized. They identify the emigrant's destination
and his place of origin in Ireland — key pieces of information
for anyone tracing his Irish ancestry. In addition, the age, town and
address, year of emigration, and religious denomination are given for
the approximately 3,000 emigrants identified in this book.
- Irish Emigration to New England Through the Port of Saint John,
New Brunswick, Canada, 1841-1849
by Daniel F. Johnson
St. John's port was a magnet for Irish immigration during the decade
that culminated in the Great Famine, although a majority of these Irish
immigrants eventually relocated to Boston or elsewhere in New England
in order to rejoin their families. Since many of them arrived in Canada
in a destitute or infirm condition, however, they were required to take
temporary refuge in the alms and work houses, hospitals, and asylums
of St. John. Many of the records of these institutions have survived,
and with their help the author has created a surrogate record for some
7,000 persons who never appeared in the official passenger lists.
- A List of Alien Passengers, Bonded from January 1, 1847, to
January 1, 1851, for the Use of the Overseers of the Poor, in the Commonwealth
by J.B. Munroe
Prepared by the Superintendent for the city of Boston in 1851 and covering
a four-year period, this alphabetical list includes a bonded passenger's
date of arrival in Boston, name, age, and birth place, along with the
name of vessel on which he sailed.
- Emigrants from Ireland, 1847-1852: State-Aided Emigration Schemes
from Crown Estates in Ireland
by Eilish Ellis
This work contains a history of the emigration scheme and a list of
the emigrants from each estate with the following details: name, age,
occupation, family relationships, date and place of departure, date
and place of arrival in the U.S., and name of ship. Most of the emigrants
arrived at the port of New York, while a handful disembarked in Quebec.
- Irish Passenger Lists, 1847-1871: Lists of Passengers Sailing
from Londonderry to America on Ships of the J. & J. Cooke Line and
the McCorkell Line
compiled under the direction of Brian Mitchell
These passenger lists, which cover the period of the Great Famine and
its aftermath, identify the emigrants' actual places of residence, as
well as their port of departure and nationality. Essentially business
records, the lists were developed from the order books of two main passenger
lines operating out of Londonderry: J. & J. Cooke (1847-67) and
William McCorkell & Co. (1863-71). Both sets of records provide
the emigrant's name, age, and address, and the name of the ship. The
Cooke lists provide the ship's destination and year of sailing, while
the McCorkell lists provide the date engaged and the scheduled sailing
date. Altogether 27,495 passengers are identified.
- Irish Emigrants in North America (in three parts)
by David Dobson
This work is a consolidated reprint of three pamphlets by David Dobson,
and it endeavors to shed light on some 1,000 Irish men and women and
their families who emigrated to North America between roughly 1775 and
1825. Each of the three groupings is arranged alphabetically by the
emigrant's surname and, in the majority of cases, provides us with most
of the following particulars: name, date of birth, name of ship, occupation
in Ireland, reason for emigration, reason for emigration, place of disembarkation
in North America, date of arrival, number of persons in the household,
and the source of the information.
