Transcriber's Notes:
* An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original recorder, not the transcriber,
or is used to call your attention to additional information in the Transcriber's Notes below.
? The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read due to quality of the
original document.
^ The use of a ^ indicates that the letter/letters following are superscripted.
The transcription preserves the original spelling.
The manifest did not include psgr #s; they have been added by the transcriber.
All ditto marks on the original manifest have been replaced with the actual words indicated.
The manifest scribe used a Germanic letter resembling 'fs'; to aid in reading, these have been
transcribed to 'ss'.
The manifest scribe discontinued recording Sex for passengers 14-38; from that point, an 'f'
was written over the Occupation for those passengers whose first name indicates that each is
probably Female, and the transcriber has moved this 'f' into the Sex column.
8-9 Last letter of surname illegible, probably Concannon.
15 Letters at end of surname illegible because of stray marks or tear on manifest.
16 First word of Occupation not clear, looks like Labe.
22 2nd number of Age smeared, illegible.
27-28 Surname omitted, no ditto marks.
29-32 4th letter of surname illegible.
35 Next-to-last letter of first name illegible.
38-39 3rd letter of surname not clear, could be Larry or Lavry.
69 Most of Occupation illegible.
72 3rd letter of surname not clear, could be Hondern or Hordern.
97 First letter of surname not clear, could be Mannahan or Nannahan.
108 Occupation Milliner.
116 Last letter of surname not clear, could be Joich or Joick.
117 First and third letters of surname illegible.
140 First letter of surname not clear, could be Shaid.
154 2nd letter(s) of surname not clear, could be Shae or Strae.
160 4th and 5th letters of surname not clear, could be Darsney or Darmey.
162 Occupation Musician.
164-166 Only one name was recorded for each of these passenger and has been recorded on this
manifest as the surname.
165 6th/7th letters of surname not clear, could be Ruhnam?vil or Ruhnans?vil.
166 2nd letter of surname obscured by lower extension from letter 'f' in surname above,
4th/5th letters of surname not clear, could be D?werfaff or D?wufaff.
167 3rd letter of surname not clear, could be Darney or Davney.
176 Age omitted.
191 Age omitted.
192 Last letter(s) of surname not clear, could be Shim or Shirn.
220 Age omitted.
237 Based on first name, Sex of 'f' could be a recording error.
