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.

There was no column listed to record deaths; it is presumed that there were no deaths on this
passage.

The original lister numbered the passengers; however, in photocopying the list at National
Archives, part of the Captain's statement covered over the list; thus the list begins with 
Passenger #8. Because the first several passenger's names are missing, and since #8-40 are 
dittoed from above, it is not possible to know:  1) Country of Birth, 2) Last legal residence, 
3) Country claiming allegiance, although this is almost certainly Great Britain.  These passengers 
may have been Irish, as the first name past the dittoed section lists England as country of birth 
and country of last legal residence, if we consider the pattern of the names on subsequent pages.


 12       Lawles, Laules.
 50, 51   Arlow, Anlow.
 61       Possibly a fireman.
 70       Gardom, Gordon.
 96, 97   Layand, Layard.
102       Grury, Grevey.
131       Shifler, Shefler.
159, 160  All of the missing letters are on the line, neither going above nor below the line -
          Mernock?  Meneck?
189, 190  Dunleavy, Dunleany.
192       There is more to the occupation, but it can't be read.
195       Keenan, Krinan.
National Archives and Records Administration, Film M237, Reel 218, List 345.
