Transcriber's Notes:
The intended destination of all the passengers was the United States
of America, and therefore that column was omitted from this transcription.
Also, no passenger was listed as having died during the voyage.
The page created by the National Archives and Records Administration preceding
the manifest states that the ports of embarkation were Glasgow and Londonderry.
However, the actual manifest lists the ports of embarkation as Glasgow and
Londonderry, and later as Glasgow via Molville. It is possible the ship made
stops at both Londonderry and Moville after departing from Glasgow.
The person recording the manifest abbreviated many of the passengers' names and
occupations. A few examples of the more commonly used abbriviations include:
Jas = James Mgt = Margaret Andw = Andrew
Hy = Henry W^m = William Edw = Edward
Chas = Charles Lab = Labourer Sevt = Servant
*5 Passenger's occupation is too faint to read, but might be "Crew Man".
*7 First name appears to be written as "Daw", but might possibly be "Dan".
*8 Passenger's occupation is too faint to read; It appears to be "Buichen",
but might be "Builder".
*11 Passenger's occupation is too faint to read; Last three letters appear to
be "wer". Could possibly but not certainly be "Brewer".
*20 Surname appears to be "Gronge", but might be "Grange".
*25 First digit of passenger's age is too faint to read, but might be "4".
*26 Passenger's citizenship is possibly "Ireland".
*37 Passenger's occupation is not readable, but appears written as "Uptrian".
*40 Surname appears written as "Noss", but could possibly be "Ross".
*41 Passenger's citizenship is not readable, but ends in "land". It is not
"Ireland"; It is probably "Scotland".
*73 Surname is not entirely readable. The questionable letters appear to be "br".
*114 First name appears to be "Senn".
*164 First name appears to be "Elis", but could be a poorly written "Chas".
*172 Surname appears to be "Guinn", but might possibly be "Quinn".
