Except for the brief period from March 1803 to March 1806, no official  registers of passengers leaving Irish ports were ever kept. The exception refers  to lists contained in the so-called Hardwicke Papers, now located in the British  Library, London. Altogether, some 4,500 passengers are identified in the 109  sailings recorded in the Hardwicke Papers--most cited with their all-important  place of residence. Although Dublin was the most popular port of departure, the  three northern ports of Belfast, Londonderry, and Newry accounted for 61% of the  sailings. New York was far and away the most popular destination, with  Philadelphia running a reasonable second. The Hardwicke lists, only fragments of  which have ever appeared in print, as transcribed by Brian Mitchell now fill a  significant gap in the records, since in many cases they will prove to be the  only record of an ancestor's emigration to the U.S.
