Archives) which I think has recently been taken over by www.1837online*com, had a database of passport applications. nell

	Hi Does anybody know what records, if any exist, I can look at to try and discover when my ancestors left the Black Country (Tipton) and travelled to Europe where they eventually settled in Budapest. I know that they were still here in 1903 and were in BP by 1909 (when my Grandfather was born). I guess I am talking about some kind of passenger lists or something. Did you need a passport at that time, and if so are there records of these. Any advice would be apreciated. Regards Tony
