Transcriber's Notes: 
Cannot see if any occupations were in the column for 
all passengers after #9.  Nothing was written and 
there do not seem to be ditto marks.  

  #4 surname something like Barth or Booth or Boith or Borth.  
 #19 surname could be Broadlock.
 #20 surname probably Grant.
 #22 surname looks like Stoft, but the S is not the same as 
     for the previous surname.  This one looks more like 
     the capital L.
 #24 first name could be Ann, but was marked male.
