The ? marks indicates letters or words that cannot be read due to the quality of the original document. * There were no deaths on this passage, therefore the death column has been eliminated. * The original document recorded the given name first and the surname second. * Bri Brig Thomas Hanford probably indicates that this is a British ship. * Passenger numbers were not on the original but added by the transcriber. 1* Fox, Bridget: The last name could be Fix because of the dot that appears over the vowel but it is an open loop. 6* Fox, Michael: The last name could be Fix because of the straight closed line.
