Davis, they appear to be Oh,On or possibly M. * After the name of Davis, there is a D and what appears to be a large inverted comma that covers about 3 lines, probably C for Deputy Collector. * Passenger # 5 age could be 7 or 9. If 9, could possibly be twin of Passenger # 3. The Robb children appear to be listed by age. * Passengers # 12, 13 & 14, not sure if its TT at the end of the name. * Passenger # 39, occupation could be brewer, but it looks like Brener, which makes no sense. * Passenger # 45, age could be 16 or 10. * Passengers # 46 & # 49, first names are listed as Christian, the spelling appears masculine, however they are listed as females. * Passenger # 48, occupation could be shirt dealer or spirit dealer. * Passenger # 56, last letter of last name appears to be g. * Passenger # 58, not sure of occupation. * Passenger # 59, first name is not legible, looks like Mns. * There were no births or deaths listed on this passage, therefore the birth/death column has been eliminated.
