In 1832, a provincial statute was enacted by the General Assembly of New Brunswick entitled “An Act to Regulate Vessels Arriving from the United Kingdom with Passengers and Emigrants". It imposed a duty of five shillings for each passenger landed which was to be paid by the ship's master. The Treasurer or any Deputy Treasurer was to receive such monies and the funds collected were to be directed towards the relief from the burdens of caring for diseased and destitute immigrants. In this manner passenger lists, which were manifests of cargo, became part of Custom House records retained in the Province.
The creation and filing of lists of passengers was required under various shipping acts of the United Kingdom but those lists were retained at British and Irish ports.
Disasters like the Great Fire of Saint John in 1877 and the lack of a provincial archives in New Brunswick before 1967, account in part for the lack of documentation of immigration to North America in the 19th Century.
Passenger lists have been found for the following ports only:
Saint John 1816, 1833, 1834, 1838
St. Andrews 1837, 1838
Bathurst 1837
