Transcriber's Notes:

This list has been re-numbered.  Originally the cabin passengers were
  numbered separately from the steerage passengers.
A question mark (?) indicates indecipherable material.
An asterisk (*) indicates further information in these footnotes.

All ages under one year were recorded as a fraction, ie: 1/4, 1/2, 3/4.  
These have been changed to months by the formatter.
