Are there passenger lists of Irish who immigrated to (Liverpool), England around 1830's or Irish who immigrated to Canada around 1825-1830 available? If not, how does one find out where in Ireland their ancestors came from this early on.

Thanks,
Carole

There a free index on ancesrty

Irish Canadian Emigration Records, 1823-1849 ?

Moving from the UK to Liverpool hardly counts as immigration - in spite of the obvious language difficulties.

There's not much re passenger lists to Canada pre-1865

Also, Grosse Ile didn't open until 1832, so no luck there.

A UK census occassionally gives some info on where in Ireland they came from (e.g., below) - a Canadian never does so far as I know.

It was the same country before the partition in 1922. There are several sites in which one can read about the partition, just one of which is

I guess "immigrate" was a poor choice of word. All I meant was there any passenger lists for those who travelled to England from Ireland. I was quite aware that it was considered the same country before 1922. I Should have used the word "migrated" or "moved". But thanks, for your help and quick responses everyone :-D
