Do passenger lists exist around 1840's for immigrants from Ireland, probably into Liverpool? I am looking for Ann Stapleton and her daughters Elizabeth and Mary. Ann's husband may have been called Michael and may have been with them. Thanks for reading, Carl.

There have never been Passenger Lists for people traveling from one part of the United Kingdom to another part of the United Kingdom ;D
Remember Ireland was a part of the UK back then.
Also the Board of Trade didn't keep any passenger lists prior to 1890.

1851 census says Ann was "born on the sea" ;D Born c1795.
Elizabeth born Ireland, 1837.
Mary born Ireland, 1836.

Silly me, stupid mistake. My best guess is that Ann Stapleton was 'born on the sea' whilst sailing to North America / Canada - there is apparently a birth registration in Quebec in that name around 1795. Bannagher, Ireland, where her two daughters was born was the nearest(?) military establishment to Canada and there is a military record of a Michael Stapleton, 27th Regiment of Foot dated 25 Mar 1796. Then a death record of a Michael Stapleton aged 41 in Macclesfield in 1846 (obviously not the same person). Death reported by Mary Ann Stapleton - no relationship provided. Making sense of this information is what keeps me awake at night - LOL. Regards Carl
