I know some of my ancestors fled Ireland and migrated to other parts of the world.  I'm seeking to know what the major ports they departed from - is there and such list available.  I am looking for the period 1855 to 1863.

There were never any passenger lists for journeys from Ireland to Britain. Until 1922 it was a short domestic journey and not one that officialdom had any need to collect passenger information on. (Generally, only collected on intercontinental journeys).

Main routes from Ireland to Liverpool were from Belfast & Dublin, but in the period you specify, Cork/Queenstown, Dundalk, Waterford, Sligo and Londonderry/Derry had passenger services too.
