Transcriber's Notes:    

*  An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original recorder, not the
   transcriber, or is used to call your attention to additional information in the
   transcriber's notes.
?  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.
*  Passenger numbers assigned by transcriber for search purpose.
*  Occupations were listed vertically as mechanics, farmers and labourers so this
   column is not shown.
*  All passengers were listed vertically as coming from England and Ireland, and   
   intended to reside in the U. States so these columns are not shown.


163 Given name and initial seems to be lined through. I think this passenger was an 
    infant wth no given name and surname M^cHennel. The lined out names are probsbly   
    for the next adult passenger.
166 to 168 Surnames may be Garside, but difficult to be sure as the 4th and 5th
    letters had been overwritten.
171 surname may be Murry or murray; the next to last letter is overwritten.
177 Surname may be Lennok, first two letters are barely visible.
