Transcriber's Notes:
17. I am unable to interpret the surname of this passenger. Could be
Yaufully or Yawfully.
This manifest has a line drawn down the columns, marking only the first
passenger. In this case, the first passenger is a labourer so a line is
drawn down the page as a suggestion that all are labourers. The same
with country which they belong (after the second England) and country
they intend to inhabit (U.States).
