'''Passenger Lists.''' Port records listing the names of departing or arriving passengers are called passenger lists. Pre-1890 passenger departure lists are rare. Post-1890 lists are arranged chronologically by port of departure. These lists—which usually give '''the emigrant’s name, age, occupation, address, and sometimes destination'''—are kept at the Public Record Office, Kew: | |||
