Transcriber's Notes:

The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the original 
  recorder.
The use of an ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read, 
  due to quality of original document.
Passenger numbers added to aid with referencing.
No births or deaths on the voyage.

* Occupation written as childred, I believe it should be child.
