Notes for List:
1 - The spelling of Workmann is as on the manifest. The spelling varies from workmann to workman on the list.
2 - The person who made the list numbered the list as it appears.
3 - The question marks (?) indicate letters or words that cannot be read due to the quality of the original document or handwriting.
4 - An asterisk (*) indicates an error on the part of the original recorder, not the transcriber.
5 - Passengers following number 217 were not numbered on the original manifest ;the unnumbered passengers (Cabinpassengers) have
been numbered sequentially to aid with referencing.
6 - Passenger number 97 is recorded as male, but is listed as wife as occupation. Recorder's error?
7 - The Cabin passengers list appears to have been recorded by a different person than the Betweendeck passengers list.
