My grandfather came to the UK in 1903 from Lithuania. His immigration isn't to be found on Ancestry, but it is on the Hamburg Passenger Lists as he travelled Hamburg to Grimsby, like many Eastern Europeans.
The passenger list is in German, so allow for mis-spelling of names if you look for your your people. My grandfather's age is wrong on the list, but that could be either the person completing the paperwork, or my grandfather lying about his age!! I suspect the latter as he was only 15 and travelling alone!
All the best
