Transcriber's Notes:
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.
A circumflex (^) is used to indicate missing letters in a name or word. The original lister
showed this by writing the final letter smaller and raising it above the line.
The column, "Died on the voyage" was eliminated from this transcription as there were no deaths
on this passage.
The original lister did not number the passengers, nor did he provide a recapitulation. When
this manifest was photocopied from the original, one page was laid over the other and several
or many passengers may be missing. This is true of #43, where one can almost see another name.
Also the entry before #90--the next page lies under the preceding page. There may be name/names
recorded under this page and before #90. The first page was written by one lister and the others
by another lister, thus the handwriting changed. The document is somewhat eroded and has been
taped in place, thus making it difficult to read.
5 There is a piece of tape over this surname. It may be James or Jones. The missing letters
are on the line, neither going above it, nor below it.
14 & 15 Surname possibilities: Hobuski, Habuski, Hebuski.
20 This passenger has a clearly masculine name, but is listed as a Female. Should the name be
Johana?
43 There may be a name missing here.
77 The occupation could be a mis-spelling of Optician - Otician.
113 It is unclear if this passenger is from the United States (U.S.) or Nova Scotia (N.S.)
128 and 129 McKen or McKew.
131 There is an "x" after this passenger's name. At times this is used to denote someone who
is ill on the voyage.
143 Could this person's surname actually be Southwell, as the one above? It is in a place where
the names are smeared. Age is 11 or 12, one having been written over the other.
144 & 145 This surname is smeared. Name could be Dooney, Mooney, Rooney.
146 Surname may be Welly, Kelly.
