Passenger lists to America 1870-1886 Please help !

[Ringrose]

Henry George Vanderpant (sometimes known as Lawrence) left England sometime between these dates. I am trying to find out if he left before his 1st wife died in 1879 or after. He left 5 children behind in the UK. He remarried inAmerica in 1886. Can anyone help in finding the date of passage and the boat he sailed on --from where to where. Ellis island and castle garden sites do not cover these dates.

Thank you

castlegarden.org does cover 1870-1886.  Do you have his 1900 census record in the US? That should give his immigration date.

Possibly he is the L. H. Vanderpart arrived, travelling by himself, 14 Feb 1881 in the US, sailing from London?  N and R are easily mixed up.  He was aged 45 and a dentist.  (I see a Horace Vanderpant, maybe a relative, is a Dental Surgeon in 1901 so a possiblity?).

Thanks very much for that information. I believe that the L.H. Vanderpart you located is the right man . The age is nearly right and he was a dentist.I could nt find him on castle garden so any other info you can find about him would be really helpful.

Thanks again

Could this be a paper he wrote in 1864?

Vanderpant, L.: REMARKS ON GOLD STOPPING. Brit J Dent Science 7:  544-545, 1864.

(ie. British Journal of Dental Science, Volume 7, pages 544-545, 1864).


The ship he was on was called the Utopia, it came into Castle Garden.  There's a little bit about the ship here
Unfortunately it doesn't say where he was heading.

Here's an interesting record from Ellis Island:

First Name:     Mrs Lawrence
Last Name:    Vanderpart
Ethnicity:    England
Last Place of Residence:    
Date of Arrival:    Oct 12, 1895
Age at Arrival:  30y    Gender:  F    Marital Status:   
Ship of Travel:    St. Louis
Port of Departure:    Southampton
Manifest Line Number:    0134

Orange, New Jersey directories have Dr. Lawrence Vanderpant for 1887-1890.  (This is on Ancestry, I can't get into the full info.)

I could nt find him on castle garden

It's really important to use wildcards when using search engines to find ancestors. Every search engine is different so you have to read the TIPS or HELP for each one to find out what it will do. Wildcards allow for spelling errors or mis-transcribed names.

If you use Steve Morse's one steps for Castle Garden, you'll see that he lets you put in part of a name. THis ends up being the wildcard character * but Steve just makes it a little easier. So your guy shows up on CG.org if you search a partial surname.   Same thing for Ancestry.com's CG database

On Ancestry he's misindexed as "J.H." but it's the same man (and on the actual manifest it is very clearly "L.H") and he's on the UTOPIA sailing out of London

Here's an article about using Search Engines that you might find helpful in other searches
