On the East coast, the main ports would be Halifax and St. John, NB.

Seeking information on the ancestors of Richard Billing born about 1797 in
Plymouth, England and married Mary Jane Ball born about 1800 in Plymouth,
Enland. Richard and Mary immigrated to St. Andrews, New Brunswick, Canada
and their first child John James was born 1821 in St. John, New Brunswick,
Canada. I do not know when they entered Canada, but must have been married
there prior to immigration. I also do not know who their parents were and my
searching has not yielded any promising clues.
Richard died 03 December 1845 in St. Andrews and Mary Jane died 15 March
1869 in St. Andrews, New Brunswick, Canada. They had four children: John
James (my ancestor), Samuel Edmund and Mary. I believe Richard was employed
in the ship building trade.
Can anyway tell me what was the most frequent port of entry for persons
leaving Devon, England for the maritime provinces of Canada.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
H.D. Thompson
