My ancestors, Diederich Klinker and Catharina Sarah Hoepfner, came to
England from Hannover around the early 1850s and probably embarked at
Bremen. I have not yet found any links to them in Germany. You would
have thought that England, being the major maritime nation at the time,
might have kept comprehensive passenger lists for arrivals, but as far
as I am aware there are none. Does anyone know?

My understanding is that it is a recreation of the shipping records
from American sources.
There is also records on the Ellis Island website. I don't have the
I have the same problem. I am searching for a John Buckhorn from the Kingdom
of Hannover. He came to UK between 1850 and 1860. I found him and his family
in the British censuses but I know nothing about his time in Germany. I also
was looking for passenger lists and I bet there are some but where? Would be
helpful to get an sign from you when you find something. Thanks.
Have a nice evening.

Records for Passengers Who Arrived at the Port of New York During the Irish Famine, created, 1977 - 1989, documenting the period 1/12/1846 - 12/31/1851 ..
Not all passengers listed are of Irish descent. Perhaps one might find German ancestor departing from an English/England Port to USA.
Not positive but I think would be referenced as "Indirect Passage."
May not be specific to your search but worth a look if all else fails.
