Transcriber's Notes:
The "Location of compartment or space occupied" column was abbreviated by the transcriber.
After Main Steerage became Aft Main Steerage and Forward Main Steerage is listed as Fwd Main
Steerage. Forward Orlop is Fwd Orlop on this transcription.
The original lister numbered the passengers, but began numbering again for the Cabin
passengers. This transcriber has continued the numbering consecutively. It seems at the
very end, he mis-numbered. The last actual Steerage passenger was #1029 and #1030 is blank.
Thus, the actual passenger could be 1043.
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 "Country of origin" is listed as either England or America. Certainly, many of these
passengers came from other countries, such as Denmark, Germany and the Scandinavian countries.
The deaths on this ship were caused by cholera, the year 1866 having a serious outbreak of
the disease. For further information, click here.
2 & 3 The lister confused these two people; he listed Mary as a Labourer and Mich^l,
as a Spinster.
15-19 The surname is probably Morriss or Norriss. The document is folded at this point.
44 There is an "x" next to the passenger's name. At times listers used this to denote
someone who was ill on the voyage.
57 Surname: Drine, Daine, Duine.
69 The document is wrinkled and torn here. The surname may be Garwell or Carwell. Only
part of the initial letter is seen.
82 Dunleavy, Dunleary.
85-87 The missing letters are on the line, neither going above nor below the line.
Possibilities: Kuce, Knee, Kure.
87 There is an "x" next to this girl's name. It may be that she was ill on the voyage.
122 This first name is obscured by a wrinkle in the page. Friedel?
123 Huntrod, Hunterd.
126 This passenger has a seemingly feminine name, but is listed as a male.
130 There is an "x" next to this passenger's name. It may be that he was ill on the
voyage.
132 Although the given name seems clearly, this passenger is listed as a Female. The
name could be Julia, or the sex and occupation could be in error.
137 and 138 Surname could be either Sibensdown or Sibendown or Lobendown or Lobensdown.
153 Surname: Bock, Back.
166 and 167 Both of the missing letters go above the line, as in "l","t","b".
170 Full name is Larn Hansen Peterson.
173 There is an "x" after this passenger's name. It may be that he was ill on the voyage.
213-215 Surname: Schmende, Schmerde.
216 This passenger has an "x" next to his name, which may indicate that he was ill on the
voyage.
244 This first name is written over. It is impossible to read.
245 This first name is written over. The missing letters appear to be "aus", which may
be from the first writing of the given name.
246 This first name may be Niclaus. It is written over also. This person is aged 24,
it appears, but is listed as a child. The lister confused these several listings.
259 There is an "x" next to this passenger's name, which may indicate that she was ill on
the voyage.
