Also, the ex Greenock may have been the last port they were at.. not the
port of origin. Some records will say out of Cape May... or out of
Panama... this is the last port of call.... I read this at the public
library. Depends on who recorded the information & how they recorded it.

Hello Marge,
you are certainly correct in this.
Greenock was not a large time during the mass migrations, not as it is
today.
I have records of many, many Highlanders who traveled from the western isles
on smaller boats or foot and who sailed from the Clyde.
Of course, a lot sailed direct if there was sufficient number, typically in
the cleared MacLeod or MacDonald lands.
And then there were those who sailed, and many of these in the later
migration years, from English ports such as Liverpool.
