Transcriber's Notes:

The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the original recorder.

The use of a ? indicates words or letters that could not be read, due to the 
quality of the original document.

There were no births or deaths on this passage, therefore the
birth/death column has been eliminated.

Passenger numbers have been added for ease in referencing.

 1  First letter of last name might be a "C". It contains a flowing
    loop with a sweeping flourish to start it off.
 3  Third letter of first name cannot be identified. It appears to be
    the top of a cursive "f" and the bottom of a cursive "p"
 5  Third letter of first name cannot be identified. It appears to be
    the top of a cursive "f" and the bottom of a cursive "p"
