Arnold,

You might try searching The Poor Jews Temporary Shelter Database:
http://www.jewishroots.uct.ac.za/Shelter.aspx
People stopped there while migrating to England, South Africa, The U.S. and other locations.
The registers contain name, date of stay, city of origin, to what country bound, and occupation.  Note that not all this is information is listed for every person in the database.

Hope this helps,

Sherri Bobish
