Wilcox 21 female 141 Josephine Wilcox 2 female Transcriber's Notes: * The remarks column has been switched on this transcription so that it follows the gender column, instead of being the last column. There were so many deaths, 22 in all, that it seemed better to do it that way, rather than using so many footnotes. One entire family, the Howards, except for the father, perished. In the Moran family, there were 4 deaths, including the mother. Other families lost at least 2 members on what must have been a terrible journey, leaving Liverpool late in the winter. * No ages were written for #27, #28, #31, #33, #59, #60, #63, #103, #116, #125, #136. #4 written as female, but usually Pat was used for male name in Ireland. #9-18 surname looks like Hannock, though there are other passengers named Hancock. #40 first name looks like Pouh. #56 surname looks like Shendan or Sheadan, but perhaps it could also be Sheridan. #86 surname seems to be spelled without Mc, looks like MHadden. #89-91 same issue as #86, seems to be MGovern. #92 surname could be Pruner or Primer or Pumer or something similar. #131 same issue as other surnames with Mc. It seems to be spelled MDonnell. #132-136 surname could be McCondlon or McCondeon.
