Noble Cafry Hunter - Emigration to N. America

[gbellDX]

I am struggling to find emigration or passenger details for my great, great uncle X 2 a Noble Cafry (or Caffrey) Hunter who was born in the Parish of Inveresk & Musselburgh on 13 October 1827. He married an
Elizabeth Wilson in Musselburgh on 30 October 1848. They emigrated to North America settling first in Rocton, Onatario for about three years then moving down into Capac, St. Clair, Michigan USA. Noble enlisted in the 22nd Michigan Infantry in 1862 and was fatally wounded at the Battle of Chickamauga, Georgia on 20 September 1863. Some of his descendants in the US reckon he emigrated from Scotland in 1856 but as he was on the 1841 Census for Scotland but not on the 1851 Census my guess is that he emigrated some time after his marriage to Elizabeth and before the 1851 Census. Does anyone know where I can find transatlantic passenger records for this period or the route the emigrants travelling to Ontario from Scotland are most likely to have taken during this period?

Hello
I think I have found him on the 1851 Scottish census
Noble Hunter and wife Elizabeth living High St Inveresk,Musselburgh. No children. He was a Tanner (journeyman)
Nothing for his emmigration.

Hi
I have quickly checked the following two websites:
http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/index-e.html
http://castlegarden.org/searcher.php
The first is for Canadian Immigration, the second for pre Ellis Island Immigration records. Of course he probably didn't arrive by ship to the USA, so the second website may not be any help.
I could not find a Noble Hunter, may be you could check for variations and may have some success.
Good Luck
