Transcriber's Notes:
A question mark (?) indicates a letter or a number that can not be transcribed
with certainty.
An asterisk (*) indicates either difficulty in deciphering the handwriting of the
manifest or something in the Transcriber's Notes to which the reader should refer.
A caret (^) indicates that the following letter in a word or name is superscripted.
The recorder of the manifest often abbreviates given names by writing the first
few letters of the name, then skipping letters and then writing the final letter
as superscripted. In these cases, the transcriber uses the symbol (^) to indicate
that the following letter was superscripted, i.e., Mich^l for Michael, Marg^t for
Margaret, Tho^s for Thomas, W^m for William, etc. For others he employs an
abbreviated version of their given name, such as "Chas" for Charles, "Thos" for
Thomas, "Hy" for Henry, "My" for Mary, "Jno" for John, "Ml" for Michael, "Geo" for
George and "Jas" for James.
"Male" and "Female" in the Sex column are shortened to "M" and "F" for formatting
reasons.
The designation "Br. Str City of Manchester" in the Captain's sworn statement at the
beginning of the manifest likely implies that the Steamer City of Manchester is of
British ownership or registry.
4 The recorder of the manifest has inadvertantly skipped the number "3" when
numbering the passengers.
8 Surname is possibly "Spear" or "Spears".
23 Surname appears to be written as "Jendon", but might possibly be "Jenson".
29 Only the one name is recorded with no indication whether it is the given
name or the surname. Name is recorded as "Elliss", but might possibly be "Ellis".
38 Surname is recorded as "Burn", but might possibly be "Burns" or "Byrne".
61-67 Surname is recorded as "Sadler", but might possibly be "Saddler".
68 No passenger's name or associated information is recorded under number 68.
109-110 Surname appears to be written as "Holmer", but might possibly be "Holmes".
114 Surname appears to be either "Donnell" or "McDonnell".
144-145 Surname is recorded as "O'Dower", but might possibly be "O'Dwyer".
237 Surname is recorded as "Cronan", but might possibly be "Cronin".
239 Surname appears to be either "Corrden" or "Condon".
244 Surname appears to be "Dickenton", but might possibly be "Dickenson".
253 Surname is recorded as "Foly", but might possibly be "Foley".
254 Surname is recorded as "Burk", but might possibly be "Burke".
263 Surname appears to be written as "Conby", but might possibly be "Conley".
277 Surname appears to be written as "Ring", but might possibly be "King".
285-288 Surname is recorded as "Dorcy", but might possibly be "Darcy" or "Dorcey".
304 Surname is recorded as "Conlley", but might possibly be "Conley" or "Connelly".
