Manx passengers on Ship West Point from Liverpool, 1850

Introduction

This transcript was given to me by Lois Ralph of Marquette, Michigan and is from FHL film 0175444(Manifest #405)

It is possible that these emigrants were those noted in Mona's Herald 24 April 1850

On Thurday upwards of 100 persons left Ramsey by the Ben-my-chree for Liverpool to proceed by the ship New World to the United States etc. A number have also embarked for Port Natal this spring but the principal ports to which the emigrants tend are the states of Ohio, Wisconsin and Illinois, US, in which most of our northern farmers have relatives or friends. Those without such ties seem to prefer Australia and the African Colonies.

On the above day Ramsey was in a complete bustle from the great number of friends of emigrants in town.

Arrived New York May 20, 1850
