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.
