Re: [TSL] Ireland to Canada

Hello Betty,

There is probably a pretty good chance that they did arrive via Quebec, 
Canada.

Canada did not begin to archive passenger lists until 1865, so very few 
list survive, prior to that date.  We do however have over 1200 (so far) 
steamboat lists from Quebec to Montreal with the corresponding newspaper 
extracts showing the vessels arriving at the port of Quebec, carrying settlers.

... we have just started to get in to the 1830's.

I googled TheShipsList for Spellman (none) and Spelman and found one that 
may be of interest.  Was there a Moran connection to your Spelman?  The 
brig WARRIOR in 1842.

This vessel sailed from Westport, which was the emigration port for county 
Mayo.  On board are a lot of Moran, including these two ...  Moran, Mary 
Spelman age 30 and Moran, John Spelman age 4

For 1842 I don't have newspapers, but a British Parliamentary report

... 4 ship loads all arriving July 5th have this notation
 >> some went to Belleville, others to Kingston & Toronto ; part to the 
United States <<
