Transcriber's Notes:     
  
* The column noting the death of passengers on the voyage was not included because  
  there were no deaths recorded on this voyage.

* ? denotes letter or letters that can not be read.

* ??? ? Nichlin  I can not read what is indicated for a first name. The middle initial apears
  to be a small J, but I am not sure.

* Henry T??nes  The ?? look rather like  ui but that is just a guess.

* Es??bella McConnell I can't even make a guess at what these letters might be.

* Hary Hull the age was written over. It could be either 21 or 23.

* Jno Alcock The age was written over. It could be eithr 22 or 27.

* Aug??try McCre???oy  The Aug??try is beyond me.  The last ? in the McCre???oy is a tall thin 
  letter. Not crossed so perhaps a b, h, d, or l.

* Soph???? Bushull  I can't even begin to guess as to what the last 4 letters of this name are.
