Ireland immigration records
« on: Sunday 12 April 20 18:44 BST (UK) »
Hello!

I am looking for members of the GAFFNEY family that travelled from Ireland to England in the 1940's / 50's.

I have tried searching on FindMyPast but comes back with 0 results? Can anyone suggest a website?


Thanks in advance x

There are no records for that type of journey. They were never kept. (There are some minor exceptions, but in general, passenger records were only kept for intercontinental journeys).

Just a minor point ;D

You were looking for emigration records (i.e. leaving); rather than immigration records (i.e. arriving).
Similar words, but a significant difference in meaning ;D

I guess movement within the UK is just "migration"?

the E stands for "ex" =out of
the I stands for "in" = into

so one of my relatives is an Emigrant from Ireland and an Immigrant into England

Most of Ireland wasn't in UK during the period littlefacey is researching. However, free movement between Ireland and Britain continued.
