Robert & William Virgin- Liverpool-NY 1861-1866
« on: Monday 17 October 05 09:38 BST (UK) »
I wonder if some kind person could look up (or help me to look up   ;D ) the immigration/passenger list record for these 2 brothers, please?

They are on the England census in 1861 and the rest of their family arrived in New York in September 1866. I believe that these 2 oldest sons (born late 1840s) preceded the main family in sailing from Liverpool a little before the main family.

Any help would be very gratefully received as I am just starting to venture into searching for traces of my US relatives  ::)

Thanks very much

Angela

Hi svalentino

Thank you VERY much - it is so kind of you to help like this  ;D


I must admit I'm struggling a bit trying to put together the American side of my family tree, as I'm totally unfamiliar with the records  ::)

Now if you need any help with Wiltshire or Somerset, please do say!

Thanks again
