Emigration to America

[Merry]

Where would I look for passenger lists from UK to USA circa 1833/4?

I can access a number of records on Ancestry - world sub.

You have to look for arrivals at America rather than departures from the UK at that date. Ancestry is a good place to look, as Shona says, also FamilySearch have some.

Thanks Shona!

I'm looking for David and Deborah MAYNARD. They married 22nd Jan 1833 at Whittlesford, Cambridgeshire.

David died 14th August 1834 at Albany, New York.

I presume they all travelled together - the whole family were (ages approx.):

David aged 34 (carpenter)
Deborah 32
Children from David's previous marriage:
Theophilus John 12
Emma Rebecca 10
Joseph George 9
Ann 7
David 6
Ebenezer 4

Also, David and Deborah had a child, Frankenah, but I don't know which country she was born in - or possibly on the ship. She died in 1836 aged 2.

Also Deborah had a son called Thomas ASHCROFT who would have been about 10.

They left one child behind - Laura who was aged 6 months when her father remarried.

Laura was supposed to have emigrated to join her family in 1849. (and when she arrived they hated her for being allowed to stay here, as if she had a choice!)

I don't have a world sub for ancestry any more, but I could look at FS if I knew where to look

I can't find anything on FS

These may not be fully (or at all) indexed, but you can browse images.

Here are the Maynards arriving in New York on the "Franklin" 9 Jun 1834:

I don't think they have been indexed yet on FS so I got the date etc from ancestry and browsed to it on there.

Well, I thought it was them but a lot of the names are not quite as expected?

[kiterunner]

The nearest I can find for Laura at the moment on either site is a Louisa Maynard arriving in New York 24 Aug 1848 on the Java, age 15, but she is with an Ann age 30. This one is actually indexed on FS:

Well it must be them because Thomas Ashcroft is there with them!

I just need to save the image as it's refusing to stay still on my screen!!

Thank you
