Immigration records?

My wife's Woods and Worrell (Warrall?) ancestors came to Canada in the mid 1800s. I suspect they came between 1845 and 1855, but probably in the 1850s..

Can anyone find a record of their passage?

Thomas William Woods was born Queens c1798, died Toronto March 08, 1855. He was accompanied by his wife Ann.

Also accompanied by his son Thomas Woods born Queens c1832, died Toronto January 08, 1877.

Thomas Woods (1832) married Eliza Worrell (Canadian records also spell her name as Warrall?) on August 02, 1859 in (I believe) Toronto. Eliza died Toronto April 24, 1887.

Eliza Warrall born c1840 in Queens County Ireland came to Canada with her parents John Warrall born c1804 in Queens, her mother Sarah born c1804 in Queens and her sister Sarah born c1849 in Queens.


Thomas and Eliza had 9 children, all born in Toronto: William(March 12, 1860) , John(November 09, 1862) , Elizxabeth(June 23, 1864) , Thomas Richard(November 16, 1866) , Albert(March 02, 1869) , Gilbert(March 02, 1869) , Alexander(August 03, 1871) , James(November 22, 1873) , Sarah Ann(May 11, 1876).

Many thanks in advance,

LAC say
There are no comprehensive nominal lists of immigrants arriving in Canada before 1865. Few such lists have survived.
