Town names spelled as found. Some of the first names were misspelled,
and have been transcribed as found.
#39 surname could be something like Simple or Siniple.
#42 surname possibly Dogherty; cannot see first name at all.
Very dark copy.

look like New York. About 7 or 8 letters. May begin Mana or Nana.
#60 first letter of destination almost looks like J or I.
#65 age could be 17 or 19.

more letters. Age could be 13 or 15.

#112 same as #109.
#118 surname could begin with G or L or S, Geaschul or Leaschul
or Seaschul. If the letter is G, perhaps the name is Gaskell.

#134 surname could be McNab.
#143 age possibly 17, but was written over another number,
cannot be certain.
