Transcriber's notes:
* The only notation in the column titled "Sex" appears next to #5 where it is written "Boy".
* The fifth column, "To what Country belonging" has "Ireland" in every entry and is not
included in the transcription above.
* The sixth column, "Country of which it is their intention to become inhabitants", has
"United States" in every entry and is not included in the transcription above.
* Age "?" marks: #'s 1, 7, 9, 15, 16: second digit could be 6, 4 or 0; #49 age could be 16 or 11.
* #37 is probably "Sidney".
* #38 is probably "Samul" but I have read it as "James" as well.  The last letter runs into
the "Y" of the name "Sidney" above it and the first letter could be a "J" or "S".
* #53 is probably "Doherty" but the 5th letter seems clearly to be an "s".
* #60 Hughes age clearly looks as if it was first written "22" with "21" written over it.
* #62 Surname was written as "Gilson" or "Gibson" and this was crossed off with "Grison."
* #67 Mahaffey's age was first written as "27" with "20" written over it.
* #78 Surname looks like "McSorley".
* #98 While this surname is clearly "O'Connell", it was originally written O'Donnell and
the "C" placed on top the "D".
* #121 cound be Jane or James.
* #123 surname appears to be "Patshell" but could be "Patchell".
* #124 surname appears to be McCanon but could be McCarron.

entries of goods brought on board. This information is written with brackets connecting
