Title: Pembroke Area to California sierra gold rush
Post by: sharon30 on Sunday 01 March 20 13:58 GMT (UK)

Need help/suggestions please

i think a person i'm searching for left Bosherston,Pembroke for the gold rush in the sierras somewhere between the 1861 & 1871 censuses.
what i'm hoping someone will know is where they likely to have sailed from around that time. as i'm hoping he'll pop up on a passenger list somewhere.
thanks

Passenger lists from the UK are not available until the 1890's.  You would need to look at arrivals in countries that they could have gone to.
