Transcriber's notes: 
The use of an * indicates further explanation is needed
The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read, due to 
  quality of original document.
*There were no births or deaths listed among Passengers 516-669.
519 Robert J. Thompson-Age could be 23 or 25 but I think it was 25.
522 Janet W?rk appears to be the letter 'o' but could be the letter 'a'.
527-531 Surname could be Purvis. The letter 'e' was closed but no dot 
  was discernible and the writer did dot all of his 'i's which made me 
  think it was an 'e'. The writer also closed the loop in many of his 'e's.
546 John ? Baxter could possibly be a J, T, or F. Drumm may actually read 
  Drummer. 
There were two very small letters that could read 'er'.
551 ? McIntosh-The first name is so faint as to be completely illegible. 
  Unable to see if there was a name or only initials.
574 Mary Docherty-Sex listed on copy is M, not an error on transcribers part.
580 Unity Boyle-The sex was so faint as to be completely illegible due to 
  the copy.
581-589 There was only a check mark in the age column.
583 Honor Carty-Sex listed on copy is M, not an error on transcribers part.
637 Michl McDonnell-The 'l' in Michl was smaller and above the other letters
646 Louise-There was no surname listed and dittos were not discernible.
657 James-There was no surname listed and dittos were not discernible.
