Title: Help pls re immigration records 1854-1880
Post by: Lindyboo on Friday 21 January 05 14:47 GMT (UK)

Does anyone know where I can find records of immigrants from England to NY between 1854 and 1880?  Failing that, any other records which might help would be welcome.  I've found 2 possible ancestors on the 1880 US census LDS, but want to trace them back to their address in England.

If anyone can help, these are the details from the 1880 census:

Address: Glenham, Dutchess, NY
Wm Aspinal age 50 (Wid) born Eng
Mary Aspinall age 22 (dau) born Eng
John Aspinall age 19 (son) born Eng

Address: Brooklyn, Kings, NY City-Greater NY
Wm Aspinall age 49 born Eng
Wife Carolina age 46 born Brooklyn, NY
Children - lots but eldest Joseph aged 26 and born NY

Thanks
