Transcriber's Notes:

The column, "Date and Cause of Death" was eliminated from this transcription as there 
were no deaths on this passage.

The original lister numbered the passengers. He had a peculiar way of spelling the
name Catharine. 

An asterisk (*) is used to refer to an item in the transcriber's notes, which further 
explains the entry.

A question mark (?) is used for letter/letters that cannot be read because of the
quality of the document.  Where possible a suggestion is given in the Transcriber's
Notes of what the letter/letters may be.

A circumflex (^) is used to indicate missing letters in a name or word. The original 
lister showed this by writing the final letter smaller and raising it above the line.

 3  Surname:  Mahor or Mahon.
15  This name is at the fold of the document and cannot be read.  It may begin with a
    "D" and has a letter that goes above the line, as a "b", "l", or "h".  It seems to
    be a four-letter name.
20 and 21  The occupation may indicate these passengers are farm servants - farm ser^t
    or farm Sev^t.
