A.* 32 M Steward 47 Hughes, Mrs M. A.* 40 F Lady Transcriber's Notes: The use of a * indicates an omission or error made by the original recorder, or a reference to information in the Transcriber's Notes. All passengers were intending to become inhabitants of the United States of America. The country to which all passengers belong was listed as England except for #45 Maria Coom and #46 C. A. Rudolph, who were listed as Great Britain. All passengers occupied Steerage, except for #47 Mrs M. A. Hughes, who occupied a Cabin. There were no births or deaths on this passage. Abbreviations: Inf means infant, Cabinet M probably means Cabinet Maker. Passenger #12 Mary Merfield, #13 John Merfield, and #14 Eliza Merrifield seem to be one family, and probably have the same surname.
