Hi Sharon in Colorado
Funnily enough I just posted this link to the Anglesey list, I found it
whilst surfing the net, very interesting page, Emigration from Wales

I'm a newbie here, and having great difficulty identifying the
emigration
location
of my gggrandfather Patrick Bannon, and hoping someone on this list can be
of
assistance.
I have family record my Patrick Bannon, born 1814 Thurles, CO Tipperary
Ireland
emigrated to Wales in 1827 (likely industrial south Wales), and then
emigrated to
the US in 1834 or 1836. He settled in Pennsylvania, US, but I do not know
his port
of entry, or exact date of entry.
I have no idea what ports he would have shipped from or to, from Ireland
or from
Wales to the US. I'm currently unable to locate him on passenger lists
entering the
US.
His passage could have been paid or worked, I do not know.
What source of information would be available for emigrating with the UK
at that
time? I am unfamiliar with any regulations that would have existed within
the UK
during those years, do not know requriements for traveling from one
'colony' to the
other, if Ireland and Wales would be considered colonies. Would
documentation be
required to travel by boat from Ireland to Wales, or to England?
What would be the likely port of entry from Ireland to Wales, and then the
likely
port of departure from Wales? What records were required to emigrate from
the UK?
Is it likely he would have needed to return to Ireland to ship out, or
ship from
Wales, or from somewhere in England, if so most likely port?
I have looked at various websites to know avail.
ANY assistance or direction would be greatly appreciated.
