Mr. Moodie's signature looks like the first name might have been Edwin. The missing letters in the collector's name are undecipherable. 1. Passengers #6 and #7, last name looks like it could be Andrew. 2. Passenger #39, age could be 37, 57 or 67. In occupation column, Ireland was listed. 3. Passenger #65, occupation of actress, spelled on manifest as shown. 4. Passenger #80, age could be 11 or 19. Second position, 1 and 9 overlay each other. 5. Passenger #85, last name might be Lod or Tod. First letter hard to decipher. 6. Passenger #87, middle initial may be a J or T. 7. Passengers #89 and #90, for both children, the sex column was left blank. 8. Passengers #91 amd #121-125, Prusia and Savanah were spelled as shown on the manifest. More common spellings are Prussia and Savannah. 9. Passengers #104 and #107 have the same letter in question. Names could be Binsdon, Binston, Durand or Durant. Too hard to decipher. 10. Passenger #112, last name may be Massa or Maesa. 11. Passenger #136, last column left blank on manifest. 12. Passenger #145, last name too hard to decipher. Might be Niam or Niem or something else entirely.
