Passenger lists for those leaving Great Britain and Ireland did not start until 1890. Passenger lists were required by the USA to include each passenger's name, birthdate/age, port of departure, name of ship, arrival date, and port of arrival. However, before this period they were not compulsory. Availability of passenger lists for eighteenth and early nineteenth century are quite rare, and in many cases non-existent.
