In Ancestry UK I am unable to find Norman Nicholas Falla on an UK outgoing passenger list in 1910. However there is an entry on an Canada Incoming Passenger Lists so he entered Canada arriving 1 August 1910 on the SS "Lake Champlain" (a Canadian Pacific Line Ship) which sailed from Liverpool England to Quebec, Canada. Norman would have departed Liverpool, England around early July 1910. Usually I have been able to find an outgoing/departure entry and a corresponding incoming/arrival entry. Norman was 22 years old and was born on 13 August 1888 in Durham, England.
I do not understand why there is no corresponding entry of departure if there is an arrival entry? Any thoughts?

But surly, if you have the passenger manifest, that is the departure record. I do not know where else it would be recorded. The Government certainly did not keep a centralized record of departures.

The Outward passenger lists on Ancestry cover 1890-1960
Are you assuming that every person leaving the UK in those 70yrs has been transcribed by Ancestry??

The departure has been transcribed by Ancestry as L. FAHER.
If you can't find a particicular passenger, try looking for one of the others with an easier surname or just use the name of the ship as a keyword and search through each page yourself.
These passenger lists are certainly not complete and if you have found everyone you have looked for then you have been very lucky.
