Transcriber's Notes:     
  
? denotes an illegible character.  
* denotes a footnote in the Transcriber's Notes, which are organized by 
  passenger number.
Ages are in years unless otherwise noted: years (y), months (m).

*  Glu?h-The recorder's name is possibly CF Gluch.  Looks like Gluuh or 
   Glucih.
*   #1 First digit illegible.
*  #16 Probably 'flax dresser'-someone who prepares the flax for spinning. 
*  #23 First digit illegible.   
*  #27 First name written in third column was illegible;  'Edward Kay' 
   was entered in last column.
*  #41 Rest of line left blank.
*  #59 Entered as female, possibly Mrs. James Farnsworth?
*  #67 Age illegible.
*  #82 No sex given, probably male.
*  #89-95 Paper torn, writing partially or completely obliterated by tape. 
*  #89-90 Messy writing, possibly servt for servant?
*  #95-97 These entries are identical to #94 (as indicated by "do"), which 
   is illegible.  
** #95-152 The recorder used 'do' to indicate repeat entries.  Because 
   some of the entries were obliterated by tape, it is unclear what the 
   'do' is a repeat of in these rows.  This transcriber has used 'United 
   States' in the last column on the assumption that the majority of 
   emigrants did intend to settle there on this ship and because the ship 
   was bound for New York.
*  #99 No sex entered-Ellen is a feminine name.
* #109 Entered as female-possible error?
* #115 Entered as male-possible error?
* #121-2 Possibly 'Boxer'.
* #143-4 Difficult to read.  Could be 'Ireland', but looks like 'Lebanis' 
  or 'Seland'.
* #146-151 Possibly Reuters or Winters.
* #152 Second digit illegible.
* #159 Possibly Muller.
* #161 A platelayer was involved with laying/maintaining the railways in 
  England.  The word refers to mining 'plateways' which actually predated 
  railways.
* #165-6 Possibly McQuedan or McQuidan.  'Ann' is written above 'Alley'.
* #176 Tradle or Twadle?
* #177 Age is 11 or 17.
* #178 Eliza is a feminine name.
* #180 Sex omitted-probably female.

  Cartnill.

* #241 James is a masculine name.
* #246-250 Paper torn; writing partially obliterated by tape.

Correspondence 8/23/00 passenger #223 

Passenger #223 Kiernan, Jno is John Kiernan. He was my Great Grandfather. He eventually settled in Albany,New York. John raised a large family in Albany and at one time was a steward on a ship that sailed the east coast of the US. He is in the Albany City Directory in 1875. He may have resided in NYC upon his arrival in the US. John Kiernan/Kernan is buried in St. Agnes Cemetery near Albany, NY. Mary Patricia Parker Correspondence 03/23/2004 Passenger #179-184 Dalziel Thomas Dalziel was born c 1807 in Dumfriesshire, Scotland, probably the Parish of Durisdeer. He married Agnes Sampson c 1837 in Dumfriesshire. Thomas, Agnes and their their three children, left Scotland shortly after the death of Thomas's father James, at Cleuchhead, Durisdeer, Dumfriesshire, and settled in Kossuth Township, Columbia, Wi, where a further three children were added to their family. By 1870, Thomas was at Bradford Township, Chickasaw Co, Iowa. He died on 4 July 1879 at Nashua, Chickasaw, Iowa, where he is buried. Passenger 183, Andrew Dalziel, is unrelated.
