1800s - Emigrants from Derry

[Christopher]

Official registers of passengers leaving Irish ports in the 19th century were not kept with the except of a brief period, 1803-06. Among the business records of two Londonderry firms, J & J Cooke for the years 1847 to 1867, and William McCorkell & Co., 1863 to 1871, passenger lists recording the residence of 27,495 emigrants in Ireland have survived.

The Public Record Office in Belfast hold hard copy and microfilm records of Passenger Books of J & J Cooke from 1847-71 http://tinyurl.com/5kewre. They also have published lists of emigrants for J. & J. Cooke and the McCorkell Line
