Passport Applications around 1895

[erin21]

I am searching for any information regarding Nicholas Mc Henry born March 1869 who travelled from Liverpool to US in 1895. Does any one know if he would have needed a passport for this trip, and if so  would this info be available anywhere?

Erin, a bit odd... and possibly irrelevant......

Ellis Island site has a Nicholas McHenry Age 26 (b. 1869)  on The Campania arriving Oct 19, 1895 from Livrpool.    But he is not shown at the page reference given, Page 7 line 178 .  Trolled the pages before and after and much of the entire manifest but did not find him.

Not finding him in 1900 census
