Transcriber's Notes: 
* The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the original recorder.
* The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read due to 
  quality of the original document.
* These passengers were not numbered on the original manifest but added for
  ease of identification.
* The orig. writer of this list used many abreviations especially for 
  given names ie, Jas, Michl, Jno, Brigt, Margt.
* The writer of this list used "Do" to mean same as above.  He also
  used ditto (") marks extensively.  In the occupation column I 
  transcribed only those actually written out or when there was "Do".
  Your ancestor may or may not have had the occupation of the person
  directly above.
* The apostrophe after O as in O'Brion, and c after M as in McReeve was added
  by me to make sorting for surname list easier. 

Passenger Notes:
? 36-44 appears to be tape on orig. manifest prior to microfilming 
  causing very dark and mostly unreadable images.
? 36 last letter of given name is an "a".  Next to last has long 
  stroke like the end of a d or l.
? 39 Last letter of given name is d - possibly David
? 40 Last letters are ch - possibly abrev. for Michael
? 41 Last letters are possibly tt - possibly Patt
? 42 Possibly should be McGuire
? 103  Hole on orig. possibly T??
* 111 Patt ? - the surname of Gibbon is assumed as no name or "Do" 
  was used as was writers usual mark to signify same as above.
? 135 unable to read
* 154 No sex on manifest but probably male.
* 180 Sex listed as female but probably should be male.
? 193-195 Occupation listed as Selfact Skinner but this transcriber
  has no idea what Selfact refers to.
