  • 1888 missing from UK incoming passenger list??

    I've been looking for sometime now for a relative arriving back in the UK in 1888 to no avail!!

    I just tried a new tactic and thought I would search just using the year 1888 for Ancestry's UK incoming passenger index and not one record came up for that year?? Years 1887 and 1889 were there but no 1888 -Just my luck that!!

    The passenger lists date from 1878 to 1888 and 1890 to 1960. However, many of the pre-1890 lists were irregularly destroyed by the Board of Trade in 1900. Therefore, there are not many lists included in this database that date from these earlier years.


    This seems to be incorrect, though, because as you say there are no hits for 1888, but quite a lot for 1889.
