I've just noticed that Find My Past has an index of passport applications from 1851 to 1903. I was wondering if passports were only introduced in 1851 and, if not, if anyone knows of earlier records. I'm thinking this might be another way of tracking down the father of my John Adams who was born in Belgium/France in 1840. Presumably, if passports had been introduced then, his father would have needed one to travel and there would probably be a next of kin on the application which might lead me to the name of John Adams' mother.
Can anyone help?
I have googled but not found the answer!
