Title: Alien entry books (1794-1921)
Post by: Watson on Wednesday 01 September 21 12:01 BST (UK)
TNA's website says that Alien entry books (1794-1921) have been digitised and are available on Ancestry.co.uk.  I don't see them from a search of the Card Catalogue on Ancestry (Library Edition).  Are they on Ancestry.co.uk?

Thanks and regards,

Watson

They appear to be - England Alien Arrivals 1810-1811, 1826-1869  (610,789 records)

BumbleB, I think that is a different dataset.  The records are separately accounted for on the TNA website.  The dates are different.

When you search the Card catalogue put "entry" in the keyword field and that brings up the dataset as result 3 of 12. ( For some reason they don't come up using alien as the keyword )

Ah - they do like to confuse us, don't they?

Christine53, I did what you said and now have access to the dataset.  Many thanks!

I presume that these Alien register books do NOT include Irish, because they were not "aliens"

I think your presumption is correct, from what I know.
