Transcribers Notes:    
    
* Passenger #  3, Jekan could be Jlkan    
* Passenger #  5, Nilsern could be Nilvern    
* Passenger # 13, Gouldsworth could be Houldsworth

* Passenger # 33, an X was marked to the left of his passenger number with    
  a C immediately above the X. Two possible signatures appear next to the     
  C and the X in illegible writing.    
* Passenger # 41, T L Maken could be T Y Maken    
    
The numbering of the passengers has been transcribed as it was written,     
and not an error on the part of the transcriber.    
    
There were no deaths recorded on this passage, therefore the "died on the    
voyage" collumn has been eliminated.    
    
Also I believe, from the manner in which they were written, the following    
abbrieviations were used for first names:    
    
Wm    = William    
Jso   = Joseph    
Jas   = James    
Geo   = George    
Thos  = Thomas    
Ml    = Michael    
Benjm = Benjamin
