Transcriber's Notes:     

* An asterick denotes an error or omission on the part of the original recorder 
  not the transcriber. 
* Question marks indicate indecipherable letters.
* Larne, Northern Ireland is northeast of Belfast on the coast.
* Sworn statement: The name of the person who received the manifest is indeciperable. 
* The first letter is an R. The person who recorded the names of the passengers wrote  
  the English, Irish, and Scottish names very clearly. The non English names however 
  were not always clear in their spelling.  
* The recorder was spelling what he heard.
*  9,  My guess is this is an abbreviation for Andrew.
* 11, I suppose this is an abbreviation for David.
