Transcriber's Notes:

The column, "Date and Cause of Death" was eliminated from this transcription as there 
were no deaths on this passage.  The "Location of compartment or space occupied" was not
indicated by the original lister.
  
The original lister did not number the passengers.

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.


1  This name and the list in general is difficult to read.  Name could be Thwaite,
   Thwenter.
5  This surname is almost impossible to distinguish.  The flourish from the "L" above
   comes down through the name.  The first letter of the surname could be "V" and the
   first letter of the second part of the surname could be "N". The lettters following
   are all on the line and could be a combination of "u", "a", "n" or "e".
