== Immigration into Ireland == | |||
Immigrants to Ireland came primarily from '''elsewhere within the British Isles''' or from '''continental Europe by way of England'''. Specific groups of immigrants included refugees from '''various wars (such as the French Revolution), Huguenots, Germans, and Jews'''. Ireland kept no official immigration records, so you must rely primarily on (1) English records of immigrants who passed through England on their way to Ireland and (2) emigration records of the country from which your ancestor moved. | |||
No consistent records of arrivals into the United Kingdom were kept until 1836. Beginning in 1836, certificates of entering aliens were kept. These are arranged by port. They provide name, nationality, profession, date of arrival, country last visited, and the signature of the alien. The Public Records Office, Kew has an alphabetical index to these certificates. | |||
Beginning in 1878, passenger lists were kept of those entering the United Kingdom (see "British Records of Irish Emigration" in this section). Passenger lists no longer exist for the years between 1878 and 1883. Records surviving from 1883 to 1891 are for the Irish ports of Cork (Queenstown), Londonderry, and Belfast. After 1891 the records are more complete. However, passengers from Europe or the Mediterranean are rarely listed. These passenger lists are arranged by port and are kept at the Public Record Office, Kew. | |||
One good, though limited, source of information on British immigrants, especially for before 1836, is naturalization and denization records. Other sources of information on people entering Ireland include court records, state papers, and plantation and settlement records. | |||
