McLaughlin 21 Labourer Transcriber's notes: ** Many entries were completely obscured by tape. Wherever there are two asterisks, the entry is obscured, not just illegible. * The third column, "Sex" is blank and has not been included in this transcription. * The fourth column, "To what Country belonging" contains the single entry "Ireland" and has not been included in this transcription. * The fifth column, "Country of which it is their intention to become Inhabitants" contains the single entry "United States" and has not been included in this transcription. * The sixth column, "Number and Names of Passengers who have died on the Voyage" contains no entries and has not been included in this transcription. * Passengers 5 & 6 could be McCaudden or McCandden. * Passenger 10 first name is partially obscured - could be Libby or possibly Sally. * Passengers 15-20 last name is mostly obscured but appears to be "Mc" possibly "La" then "y" or "g" and possibly then "hli" and ending in "n". * Passenger 25 appears to be "Shuras" with an asterisk following. * Passengers 29-30, last name could be McIlunney, McIlernney?. * Passenger 33, last name has a long flat tail at the end but no indication of letters. * Passenger 37 age could be 21, or 27 or 24. It has been written over. * Passenger 39, last name begins with a letter that looks like no other letter on the list except for a match on the last name of passenger 70 and 131 so therefore recorded as an "H?" although the writer uses another style on other names beginning with "H". * Passenger 44 is partially obscured and given the length and a bit of the first letter, I would guess last name to be "McLaughlin" or similar. * Passenger 45 is partially obscured but given the length and discernable letters, is probably "Gallagher" or similar. * Passenger 46-47 is partially obscured but given the length and discernable letters, is probably "Carlin". There is an interesting "doodle" in the margin of a girl's face. * Passenger 49, occupation is "wife" followed by "do" for "ditto". * Passenger 56 third letter could be "u" or "n", fourth letter "t" or "h". * Passenger 67, first name could begin with "S" but style is more like the writer's "L"; last name has a thick high rise on the end which is not typical of other names ending in "e". * Passenger 68, last name ? could be "a" or "u". * Passenger 70, first letter of last name is like that of passenger 39 - probably an "H" but not like any other capital "H" on the list. Last letter could be "s" or "l". * Passengers 74-78 are likely one family given the occupations that are likely "married", "daughter" "ditto" "son". * Passenger 94, last letters of last name could be "een" or "eed" or "un" or "ud". * Passenger 99, middle name is an abbreviation possibly "T" followed by "a" and "t" . * Passengers 102-104 last name partially obscured, appears to have a below line letter in middle like a "g"? and a "y" on the end. Occupation ? appears to begin in "s" and ends in "th" so is likely a "whitesmith" also known as a tinsmith. * Passenger 120, end of last name looks like a "t" or "h" followed by the word "with" which seems to be written in with a different pen or style. The name then appears as "Drawt with". * Passenger 125 age appears to have been written "27" and then a "1" written more boldly over the "2". * Passenger 129-130, last name possibly ends in "t" making this likely to be "McNutt." * Passenger 138 cannot decipher. * Passenger 139 is either McIleye or McIkye
