Transcriber's Notes:

The column, "Date and Cause of Death" was eliminated from this transcription as there were no 
deaths on this passage.  The lister also did not list the sex - at times there was a tiny check
mark in that column of some of the passengers were definitely female, according their given names, 
but he did not do this at all times. 

The original lister numbered the passengers and signed the document.  It appears to be a
complete manifest.

An asterisk (*) is used to refer to an item in the transcriber's notes, which further 
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.


  7-8   Possibly Breller or Bressle. The 3 letters after the first "e" all look very much alike-
        an "l" or a large "s".
 10-17  Laughuney, Laughaney. Ages for #14 and #15 are obscured by a tear in the document.
        #15 may be 7 years of age.
 24     Occupation:  Could it be Malster - a dealer in malt?
