Transcriber's Notes:

  *  Liverpool to New York -  some confusion as on the manifest the master, 
Galway, lists himself as "master from Dublin".  Liverpool is not listed 
anywhere in the documents but rather handwritten lightly on the cover sheet. 

  The passengers are listed as from "Great Britain" but the names are 90% Irish. 
Could a 660 ton ship have sailed out of Dublin at that time?  Some sources 
feel that it would be possible.  Did it sail from Liverpool and pickup 
passengers in Dublin??
  
  * passenger #8 age difficult to read 4 is clear next # could be 0, 3, 5 
most likely 5
  * passenger #9  given name a D??  or possibly two 'do' are used - given 
name would be Bridget
  * passenger #10 Catha is clear next 2 or 3 I can't tell
  * passenger #11 Mike seems clear B?ennan.  Last name probably Brennan
n's could be u's.  Age seems to clearly be written as 100!!
  * passenger #12-14 are ditto's of passenger #11 
  * passenger #13 I presume Edward.  Edw is clear and there is a superscript 
letter which is illegible
  * passenger #18  Inft - infant
  * passenger #20  first name totally unreadable.  Age is difficult to read 
0 is clear.  Occupation probably shoemaker - looks like #23's occupation
  * passenger #26  Thos s is superscript   Thomas
  * passenger #29  given name possibly A
  * passenger #31  surname  K??ffe  probably Keeffe  or Keffe
  * passengers #32-41 one family looks like Sweetman, #32 given name 
illegible, #35 given name Math?
  * passenger #43-44  name very difficult to read  surname only letters are 
Moan but there is much space between the letters M o an.  Altho a lot of 
space M and o seem to be connected.  There is no sign of another letter 
between o and an, but the copy is dark.  My guess would be Moran, possibly 
Morgan  
  * passenger #45  Jo seems clear next letter has a long tail reaching up 
with a hook down this repeated in #52 and seems to indicate an abbreviation 
with an unclear superscript.  Surname is Brien or Brier.       
  * passenger #52 Tho w/hook up (see note 45) surname illegible
  * passenger #53 Cath  surname illegible can't even tell if it is a ditto 
of #52  possible that it is.      
  * passenger #54 Dan'l very clear Delaney not so clear
  * passenger #55 given name May or Mary  surname appears to start with an A  
written as a circle possibly a 'Q' -looking closer I think the given name
is possibly Mary Ann and surname is a ditto indicating Delaney
  * passenger #56 difficult to read could be Larkin or Lankin     
  * passenger #57 very faint sex is given as child  I presume Male because 
Henry is  legible
  * passenger #58 Inft for Infant in several columns no sex given and no 
surname   no dittos
  * passenger #59 Edwd with last d superscript - last name very difficult ? 
letter or letters has a fancy' tail below the line  guess might be Dempsey  
? letter with tail being a 'p'??
  * passenger #60 surname difficult  it always a scribble could be u or w 
possibly  Lamhart  or Lambert
  * passengers #61-66  surname difficult in 61 and the rest are dittos  
M?ll??y  Mallory?? Molloy 
  * passengers #65-66 altho children a ditto is used in occupation under 
Laborer.  The sex for #66 is listed as child
  * passenger #67 first letter is probably a M or an N next could be f  middle
initial could be anything A E    - surname is clear
