Indicates a letter or number which could not be determined due to the condition of the manifest or handwriting of the original recorder. ^ A ^ followed by a letter indicates that the letter was superscripted. * Names were transcribed as seen regardless of spelling. * Passengers were numbered by the transcribers for ease of referencing. * Sex of passengers not shown so this column was eliminated. * All passengers came from Ireland except Passenger no. 107 who came from the United States, and all in tended to reside in the United States so these columns are not shown. 5, 6: Ink blot made ages unreadable. 49: Surname may be Driss or Drips. 85-89: Surname may be M^cCanercy. 107 Passenger came from the United States. 129: Passenger's information was crossed out and note reads "left the ship at Moville". 138-140: Bracketed in occupation column with what looks like "sent terman?".
