The original lister did not number the passengers and did not provide a recapitulation at the end of the Manifest, but it appears to be a complete manifest. 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. 14 There is no age recorded for this child. 25 and 26 Brehan, Bochan. 35 There is no age recorded for this child. 38 There is no age recorded for this child.
