Keith I looked, but there is no mention of Esther May in the whole list. Lindy's second post says she was looking at 1848 in particular, which is why I put those up. I also put the URL up just to give her a starting point. I hope it helps. T x

Hello Theresa. The original query was for the 1840s not just for 1848. I am only an interested observer but you may be able to find Esther May on other years for Lindy Lou. Regards Keith

Here is the ships list from 1848, afraid your esther may isn'[t among them. I found these on http://freespace.virgin*net/alan.tupman/sites/irish.htm 'Sarah Sands' from Liverpool to New York, 10 February, 1848. 'Channing' from County Roscommon to New York via Liverpool, 13 March,1848. 'Sir Robert Peel' from Liverpool to New York, 30 March, 1848. 'Anglo American' A.H. Brown, Captain - partial list for passengers from Liverpool to Boston, arriving 3 April, 1848. This USGenWEb page also includes partials for the 'Vixen', 20 September, 1849. 'Progress' County Roscommon to New York via Liverpool, 25 April, 1848. 'Constitution' from Belfast to New York, 8 May, 1848. 'Sea Bird' Galway to Quebec, 15 June 1848. 'Agenora' from Liverpool to New York, 10 July, 1848. 'Nicholas Biddle' from Liverpool to New York, 7 September, 1848. 'Intrinsic' from Liverpool to New York, 6 November, 1848.

Lindy, try this http://www.lr.org/services_overview/shipping_information/is038immigration_emigration.htm It might give you a starting point although it doesn't mention Esther May in particular. T x PS I Googled Immigration+Liverpool+USA+1848. There's more than one way to skin a cat LOL
