To effectively search these records, it helps to know the approximate date of emigration, the ship in which your ancestor emigrated, the type of or reason for emigration, or the previous residence of your ancestor in Britain. If you know the ship name, Lloyd's ''Register of British and Foreign Shipping, 1776-1880''(LaCrosse, Wisconsin: Brookhaven Press, 1981; Family History Library {{FHL|22058|title-id|disp=fiche 6024581-5194 6025259-95, 6053006-7}}; not available at Family History Centers) may provide additional details on the ship, including ports of embarkation and arrival. Once you have gathered background information, you can search British emigration records including:
-'''Passenger lists'''. Passenger lists are port records listing departing or arriving passengers. British passenger departure lists are rare before 1890. From January 1890, records were kept of passengers departing from ports in England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. These lists usually give the emigrant's name, age, occupation, departure date, address in the United Kingdom, and sometimes destination. These records are arranged by date and by port of departure. They are kept at the Public Record Office, Kew. The Family History Library does not have copies of these records. Therefore, you may want to check Irish emigrant lists that have been compiled from these records and published in recent years by such authors as Ira A. Glazier, Michael Tepper, and Brian Mitchell.
-'''Assisted emigrant registers'''. Assisted emigrant registers list people applying for assistance to emigrate. These records often contain the petitioner's name, age, occupation, residence, destination, name of sponsor, address of relative, and size of family. The registers available at the Family History Library appear in the&nbsp;Place Search of the catalog under the following headings:
-IRELAND - EMIGRATION AND IMMIGRATION
-GREAT BRITAIN - EMIGRATION AND IMMIGRATION
