Highland Clearances
For those interested in the Highland Clearances, information is available using the following example as a guide.
If you google "Metagama" you will get some ship passenger lists from 1920's. This is a small example - 404 names on this list mostly from Scotland. Departed Glasgow, Scotland on Friday, June 22, 1923 Departed Belfast, Ireland on Saturday, June 23, 1923
Trans-Atlantic Sailing to Quebec and Montreal, Canada, July 5, 1923
This was a C.P.R. liner, come to Lewis to take on those whom Manny Shinwell later described in Parliament as "the best of Scottish manhood".
The Metagama sailed on Saturday the 21st of April, 1923. From all over Lewis, they crowded into Stornoway on the Friday. Cromwell Street echoed with the banter and excited anticipation of those about to leave, mingling with the sadness of those who had come to say goodbye. (This is From West Side historical Society on Google - out of the 300 who sailed that day only 20 were NOT young men, the average age was 22.) It decimated the Island Communities and to this day they have not recovered.
Australian Passenger Lists - NSW
Information from: Mary from Italy
What passenger lists contain This information applies to passenger lists obtained from the NSW state government.
If you find a passenger in the immigration indexes:
- State Records NSW - Indexes Online Click on "submit order".
Some lists are more detailed than others, but the one I got, dating from 1857, contained the following information:
1. List of immigrants per ship (sorted by family groups) containing:
- Name
- Whether married or single
- Age
- Trade
- Native place and county
- Religion
- Whether person can read and write
- Remarks
2. List of immigrants per ship as inspected by the Immigration Board, containing:
- Name
- Whether married or single
- Age
- Trade
- Native place and county
- Parents' names and, if alive, their residence
- Religion
- Whether person can read and write
- Relations in the colony
- State of bodily health, strength and probable usefulness
- Any complaints respecting treatment on board the ship
- Remarks by Immigration Board
3. Particulars:
- number of births and deaths during the voyage
- date and place of departure and arrival
- number of days on voyage
- master's name
and one or two bits of technical information like tonnage.
The list I received was a photocopy of the pages which included the two families I wanted and the other names on the page, not all the passengers on the ship.
It cost AUS$25 (£10). If you have more than one person in a family, only give one name, and you'll get the whole family. If you have another person on the same ship but in a different family, it costs an extra $6.
