How can I, easily,quickly and for free, find out if some of my rellies emigrated to either South Africa,Australia,New Zealand ,America or Canada after the 1841 and 1881 censii, as I can't find them after these dates.

Researching:
Turner Cambs/.Northants, Singapore and Penang,Trengrove Singapore and Penang, Arnull (Champion Race Horse Breeders & Trainers 'Oleander')Germany and Denmark

Nothing comes very quickly in family history Julia, you have to be patient.

What names are you looking for (give names, year of birth, place of birth etc.)? They may just be mistranscribed.

There are some imigration records on Ancestry.

The people I am refering to are as follows:-
Daniel Turner b.1820,and Rebecca Turner b.1826.
In the 1841census they are in the household of William Turner b.1801 of Gracious Street, Whittlesey, Cambs, though I suspect they are not exactly children of his.
After the 1881 census, I cannot locate the following two people:-
Samuel Webster Turner b 1870 in Whittlesey, and in the census of his aunt Anna Maria Turner at 106 Gracious Street,Whittlesey,Cambs, whilst next door at 105 Gracious Street, is his sister Eliza b 1864 at Great Gidding. In previous census she uses the name Margaret E.
Also, Josiah Harding b 1858 West Brom, Staffs, can't be found on further census. I cannot find any marriages or deaths for all these people, so resorted to the idea that they may have emigrated

If you are using free resources (for example FreeBMD) remember they are not 100% complete, whatever they might say. So just because you can't find a matching death, it seems a bit of a jump to think they emigrated.

Though, from what I remember (my relies came from Whittlesey) the railway arrived at Whittlesey in the early 1850's and, after that time, there was a lot more travelling around. Several of my younger relies moved all the way to London at that time, and I imagine it is easy to get lost in London!!
