Transcriber's Notes:
 
An asterisk (*) is used to refer to an item in the transcriber's notes, which 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 column, "Died on the voyage" was eliminated from this transcription as there were no deaths 
on this passage.
 
The original lister did not number the passengers, nor did he provide a recapitulation; however, 
it appears to be a complete manifest.
 
 
 31  Actual age is 12 years, 6 months.
