These two both have passenger lists leaving UK - www.findmypast(.)com www.ancestry(.)co(.)uk (remove brackets from both) You can search the first one for free and get a basic listing of the results - further details/images are chargeable, but there is someone on here offering lookups - see Records Office board. Not sure whether you can get any info from the second for free, but again lookups are offered in the Records Office board.

If they emigrated to the US here is a great free site you can search. I found a great aunt who emigrated through Ellis Island in 1924. Information includes immigrant personal description such as height, hair and eye colour, and vessel info if you're lucky enough to have a hit. All info is scanned and online and free (donation if you like it), they charge you on Ancestry for this. ellisisland(dot)org
