Just had an e-mail from British Origins. There are three new datasets: 3 new datasets on British & Irish Origins Transatlantic Migration North America to Britain and Ireland 1858-1870 Boyd’s Family Units London City Burials Irish Origins: Transatlantic Migration North America to Britain and Ireland 1858-1870 The only surviving ships' passenger lists for ships returning to Britain and Ireland from North America between 1858 and 1870. Because of the threat of an uprising in Ireland, the government required that ports in Britain and Ireland submit their incoming ships' passenger lists. These records were deposited at The National Archives of Ireland and are not available at the UK National Archives. The Index contains all details recorded on these documents as well as lists of ships and details of their voyages. Over 42,000 names are recorded most of whom were of Irish, English or Scottish origins.
