The Passenger lists from 1820 onwards are on Ancestry if that is any help to you. it all depends which part of America they travelled to.
Were they married when they travelled as you have named them separately?

Researching:
More in hope than expectation!

My 3x Great grandparents emigrated to America c1843. They are Edward Jones b1795 died Kenosha 1879 and Jane Morgan B1800 died 1875. How can I trace where they sailed from? They lived in mid-Wales so possibly sailed from Liverpool. Where can I find shipping lists from the 1840s? Thank you. Ann J
