Many thanks Jorose,I found that info out after I'dput the message on.JDC,I've found a descendant of John Groom on Genes and seemingly he died before his wife could join him.But no more info.I've heard of Land Grants were available in Canada around that time could he have taken one of them and moved further afield?

Many thanks for your help Tressle.I printed off the Transcript of one who was born the same year as my ancestor,it's calculated by his age.It tells port of Departure,where bound,Pasenger destination,ships name,Masters name and steamship line.The only thing it doesn't tell is address of passenger,etc.I only had limited access so couldn't find more out.
