	In 1916 the records office in Dublin was burnt down,records all gone! It was Dublin Castle and occupied by the English....the Irish burnt it down! Good luck and happy searching. Gerri x

	Ireland was part of the same country so there was free passage between there and here and so passenger lists are not available. It was just like moving from Wales to London, records would not be kept. Sam x
