Hi Nee

I don't know if such a thing exists,but you can search by name  on http://www.findmypast.com/migration.jsp from 1890-1960,although if you are not a subscriber you won't be able to view the image.

If you find someone you are interested in,shout, and one of us will look them up,sometimes you get an address,although not VERY often  ;D

You can click the box to show those who travelled just to a certain country,although sometimes they did it via another one  ;)

Regards

Carol

Carol,

Thanks for the info..Im trying to trace a James Harrington Trott and a Edgarina Harrington Trott who may have travelled from UK to India round about that period....So if u or anyone else findspeople by these names do let me know

Im not a subscriber of the website u just mentioned...Was also wondering that if people travelled to and from from UK to India or were part of the Royal Navy/Army as soldiers and the likes....would they have needed to have passports or were the Navy / Army taking in youngsters who werewilling to sign up for the Navy/Army as they needed manpower?

Nee

Some of the background information will assist anyone who's trying to help and prevent duplication.
