Hi Lola I hope you are well and had a good summer. I have searched the Quebec Mercury for information on the shipping news as youi suggested and it was wonderful. I believe my family probably took one of G.H. Parke ships as their line made the most crossings and some such as the Dumfries Shire is listed as having 276 steerage passengers. I have tried to access the Belfast newsletter as you suggested in hopes more information is there but I can only find subscriptions to it? Could you tell me if it is a paid or free site you are using? I also wonder if you know anything about the G.H. Parke co. as there seems to be nothing on line about them? Thank you for your help.

The webpage for the Mercury is in French but the newspaper printed in English. It is east to navigate. Just click on the calendar ikon on the right side, find the year, month etc. I took a quick look and the ships arriving in 1828 are listed. I hope this helps and let me know if I can be of further assistance. Iola.

The lack of shipping list is a problem and as has been noted travel between Canada and Ireland was not registered. A real problem... I have tried the steam ship lines from Quebec to Montreal with out success but they also ran Bateaux service which is how I assume they must have come. I think the suggestion of the Belfast News, The Quebec Mercury or the JJ Cooke shipping records might give me the names of ships that would have sailed out of Belfast and arrived in Quebec in the time I suspect. That would be a great help. Iola would you have the online site that these can be found on?

This is the year I believe my family and their neighbours left Tyrone and immigrated. However I am told there is no passenger records in the early years of the 1800's. I was wondering if there was a list some where of just ships names that sailed even if there was not passenger lists. I am confident that they sailed after iceberg season and arrived in the Montreal area around the end of August or beginning of September of 1838. If I had a list of ships sailing out of Belfast I might be able to deduce which ship they sailed on? If anyone has experience or an idea where ships names or records that might have sailed from Belfast it would be of great interest to me?
