Transcriber's Notes:  
   
The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the original recorder.
The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read, due to
  quality of original document
Passenger numbers were added to aid with referencing.
There were no deaths recorded on this voyage.


1, 3-5 The occupation of these four passengers is illegible.  There seems 
       to be something written but it is not possible to make out the letters.
2, 6, 8, 9 There seemed to be no entry under occupation for these passengers.
4      William Cu??ck There seems to be two letters, could be an n and an a or i.
5-6    John and Nancy Agne? the last letter could be a w but it is hard to 
       be sure.
