Transcriber's notes:

Passenger numbers added to aid with referencing.

1 Genge could also be Gunge as the Captain wrote n,m,u, all alike.
2-6 Behind each of the children there is listed "Miners". But if they were
    to young it should have been written as minors, and it is clearly
    written Miners.  I do know that is reading back in history children did
    work in the mines it England so maybe these children were miners.
*There were no deaths on the voyage.
