Remember that in those days Ireland was part of the United Kingdom. I had
an Irish passenger to South Africa in 1860 sailing from Southampton. That
was a major departure port for passenger ships until at least the 1950s.

> I have recently found my Gt. Grandmother on the passenger list of the
Waikato, Plymouth - Lyttelton in 1877. I am suprised that the passenger
list is almost entirely single, Irish farm or house servants with just a few
family groups. Can someone explain the reason for this and why the Irish
sailed out of Plymouth and not Ireland.
