Transcriber's Notes:     
  Passengers 19-20 William Cullen and ?zzie Cullen are 6 months old.
  Passenger 47 Andrew Crefsan was 11 months old.
  Passenger 66 Joseph Hogan was 11 months old.
  Passenger 74 James McDade was 6 months old.
  Passenger 87 Michael Leehill was 8 months old.
  Passenger 94 James Mullen was 11 months old.

  Passengers with a "?" in the name, I was unable to decipher. 
  Some of the above passengers had what looked like "po" or "jo" 
  under column for occupation.  Could mean "same as above".
  Under column for deaths there were no notations.
  "D" in last three columns was substituted with correct dittoed information.
  Passenger numbers added to aid with referencing.
