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 is 1043.
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.
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.
274 This passenger, a male is listed as a Spinster.
281 and 282 These passengers are listed as males, but their names are feminine. #281 could
be Johannes or Johann.
284 and 285 Occupation: Brick Layer.
286 Kuch, Kush.
302 This passenger has an "x" next to her name, which may indicate that she was ill on the
voyage.
317 Probably Joh Geo.
320 and 321 Wingenbacha, Wingenbache.
322 Orth or Crth.
327 and 328 Occupation: Whitesmith. Another name for a tinsmith.
331 The note "died at quarantine" appears to be crossed out, probably meant for the
passenger above.
345 There is an "x" next to this passenger's name. He may have been ill during the voyage.
349 The first two or three letters are garbled. It could be "H" or "W". Waschaunlee,
Halchaunlee, or something like these names. First name could be Cha^s or Tho^s.
388 There is an "x" next to this passenger's name. She may have been ill during the voyage.
405 The first name seems clearly W^m; however, the passenger is listed as a female,
spinster.
406 Occupation is Husbandman.
411 and 412 These two had been listed as "spinster", but it was crossed out and nothing
else added.
431 There is an "x" next to this passenger's name. He may have been ill during the voyage.
474 There is an "x" next to this passenger's name. He may have been ill during the voyage.
484 There is a checkmark in front of this passenger's name. It is not known what this
signifies.
517 There is an "x" next to this passenger's name. He may have been ill during the voyage.
