Another request for someone with full Ancestry subscription

I really must think about getting the world wide thing for myself, because it is needed more and more these days.
Anyway, please could someone, when they have time, check the passenger lists to America for Nicholas Downing born 1820 in Durham, Iron Founder. It would have been between 1871 and 1891.......sorry that I cannot be more specific, but he is nowhere to be found in this country in 1881 and his wife was a widow in 1891; also I can find no trace of his death in this country. I am therefore hoping that he went over to Philadelphia perhaps, to visit his sisters and brother and maybe to check out the living conditions there, but died somewhere along the way.
