Transcriber's Notes:
The column, "Date and Cause of Death" was eliminated from this transcription as there
were no deaths on this passage.
The original lister did not number the passengers and did not provide a recapitulation
at the end of the 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.
The lister used many of these shortenings and it is difficult to read the small letter
written above. He used M^?, which is presumed to be M^l for Michael, but one could not
read it for certain. Joh^a is probably Johanna and he used J^no for John.
33 Beanhope, Beanhofe.
121 Jetherston, Fetherston.
163 and 164 The "y" from the name above comes down and obscures this one letter. Name could
be Hurley or Hursey.
184 McEnroe?
192 This name is obscured by the "y" coming down from the above name. Name could be
Trey, Troy, Try.
195 Surname: Duyer, Dwyer.
217 Surname: Downing, Downey.
230&231 These passengers are listed as a Male, but the occupation is listed as Spinster. The
given name is not able to be clearly read on #230. They probably are males.
250 It is not known what is meant by the occupation. It possibly could be Sch, an abbre.
236-240 Shea or Shear.
for School? Is she a school teacher?
261 This passsenger is probably mis-identified as a male. The name appears to be feminine,
(Johanne?) and her status is Spinster.
