Have you any idea where the were born in Ireland and when they left for Scotland and the Uk ?
By using different sources we may be able to narrow things down a little.
Perhaps if you can tell us some more about this family we may be able to find some information for you.

Family name HEGGIE. James Heggie born Ireland 1857(don't know where). Moved to Greenock Scotland, married to Margaret Jane Moss 1875. Father Robert Heggie married Margeret. Robert Heggie was a farmer. Don't know when or where they came from.
I have a similar problem, my Grandfather William Hamilton left Waterford, Ireland for Liverpool, it would have been in the period 1914-1930. I have never been able to find out any details of him as a passenger. There seems to be loads of lists for passengers heading for America but I have not seen any for passengers from Ireland to Liverpool. Hope RootsChat can help out.

Otho Hamilton, John Hamilton, George Hamilton, William Hamilton, from Waterford. Cullinane and Fitz-henry from Waterford Oxland from Waterford and Glais in Swansea, and Connecticut USA
The Olivestob Hamiltons from Edinburgh.
Cook from Stroud, Painswick, Glos. Hudson from Huddersfield, Liverpool Spiers from Evesham and Liverpool Jinks from Evesham and Liverpool
The problem is that journeys from Ireland to England, Scotland or Wales are considered internal to GB so do not cause the paperwork. Ireland to Liverpool ships lists do not seem to turn up.
