An asterisk (*) is used to refer to an item in the transcriber's notes, which explains the entry. A question mark (?) is used for letter/letters that cannot be read because of the quality of the document. Where possible a suggestion is given in the Transcriber's Notes of what the letter/ letters may be. The column, "Died on the voyage" was eliminated from this transcription as there were no deaths on this passage. 6 Should surname actually be Timmons? 15 Surname: Kerham, Kesham.
