Find Ancestors

Hi
I am looking for the passage to the US for a Micheal O'Connell bn 1842 in County Clare Ireland .
He was 12 yrs old when he was sent to the US to live with reallies so 1854 or there about was when he traveled.

He left the US on a date we do not know for OZ then New Zealand before 1870 and there he married a Mary Brown.

If anyone can help at all I would be very grateful,just another Brick Wall to try to break down .

Edit
More info has come to light his father was Patrick O'Connell and his mother was Maria Hawkins,he def went to the US first because of the Potato famine,I am looking for his passages of travel if possible.
I can see a lot of ifs on Ancestry but I do not have World coverage to access them,I only have Heritage Plus.
Any help would be great
Thank You
Sue :-)

Can Anyone help me on this one please.

There are a few possibles of your man but it would help if you can give any family members names?

Did he travel to the US with someone?

D you know where in Ireland he was born?

The only one I can find about that age and at that time.

Hi Joan

I was told he went to the US on his own at the age of about 12 yrs .

The details I have been given are very scant I must admit.

He was born 1842 so I am guessing he would have arrived Canada around 1854.

I can't even find him leaving US to go to OZ then NZ he did marry Mary Brown in New Zealand in 1870 and had children .
Patrick
Catherine
Melanie.
That is all I have sorry.

Thankyou for looking for me .

The shipping lists for Canada dont start until 1865 on Ancestry

It might draw attention if you add Canada/NZ in your title as there are some very good researchers on here for those countries

Thank You Robin

He did go to the US around 1854 as he was only about 12 yrs old when he was put on a boat by himself for the Journey.

I don't think they are him but thankyou for trying.
I hate Irish records or the lack of them that is.
