Sometimes you can work out a rough year. Eg: my greatgrandparents were born in Ireland; they are on the 1851 census with two children, one born Ireland c1847 and one born Birmingham 1850, so they probably came over between 1847 and 1850. Of course, they could have been here before that and the mother went home to have her first child! |

Does this mean there is no way of asertaining when ancestors left Ireland and came to England? |

I am pretty certain that there are no passenger records for trips from Ireland to England. They were part of the same Country back then and there was free passage between the two places, just like hopping on a ferry over to the Isle of Wight these days! |
