Hi Dorothy, thanks for your message and interest in Ireland Reaching Out.
Do you have any information on SImon and Jane's emigration? Generally more information was given at the port of entry rather than departure. If you knew which city they arrived at (eg. Liverpool), this could be a good place to find more information-and perhaps you can find out an exact place of origin.
The UK National Archives may be of some help to you. You can do a search of immigrants into the UK at the following link:

Remember to post as much information as you can with regard to the people you are researching. The more information you post, the more likely it is that one of our volunteers will be able to advise or assist you. Also include information concerning which sources you may have already used so others may further your search.
Please be patient - as our programme has only begun to rollout across the island of Ireland and volunteers in some areas may not yet be organized.
Kind regards,
