Transcriber's Notes:

  A question mark (?) indicates a letter or a number that can not be 
  transcribed definitely.

  An asterisk (*) indicates either difficulty in deciphering the handwriting of the 
  manifest or something in the Transcriber's Notes to which the reader should refer.

  A caret (^) indicates that the following letter in a word or name is superscripted.

  The entry "Great Britain" in the native country and destination country columns
  is shortened to "Gt Britain" for formatting reasons.  "Male" and "Female" in the
  Sex column are shortened to "M" and "F" for the same reason.


  7-10   Family surname is recorded both as "Connell" and "O'Connell".
 11      Surname appears to be written as "Dagan", but might possibly be "Dugan".
 15      Damage to the manifest in this area obscures the passenger's surname.
 22      Surname is recorded as "Cassiday", but might possibly be "Cassidy".
 24      Given name appears to be written as "Taurence", but might possibly
         be "Laurence".
 36-38   Surname is recorded as "Healey", but might possibly be "Healy".
 42      Surname appears to be recorded as "Montaigu" or "Montaigue", but might
         possibly be "Montagu" or "Montague".
