Transcriber's Notes:
* This list was not numbered, numbers were added for transcription.
* The use of an * indicates an error made by the original recorder,
not the transcriber or to call attention to additional information.
* The use of a ? indicates a word or letter that could not be read
due to the quality of the original document.
* The column "Died on the voyage" was omitted as there was one death
accounted for in the "passenger notes".
* "Do" was used for "same as above" throughout this list; the words
represented by such are written out in this transcription.
* The original recorder has capitalized the first letter of a few of
the occupations listed in the occupations column.
Passenger notes:
#17 Occupation distinctly spells Hairdresser. While I do not associate
that occupation (as I know it) w/circa 1851, I found no reference
to this occupation after searching old/past occupations lists. A
remote possiblity is that the ir is really the letter m and the
word becomes handresser which, as an occupation, I could also
find no reference to.
#21 ? could be p or f, Jupsum or Jufsum.
#46-#52 ? is i or e, ?? is m or rn producing Shiam, Shiarm, Sheam, Shearn.
#65 Two year old Margaret Sims died on the voyage.
#67 ? is h or k, Strichcomb or Strickcomb.
#79 ? letter obscured by tail of g in Hugo above. Likely Wastley.
