Transcriber's notes:
The use of an asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original
recorder.
The use of a ? mark indicate letters or words that cannot be read due to the
quality of the original document.
The last column on the manifest, "Number and names of Passengers who have
died on the voyage" has not been transcribed. There were none.
From Passenger #41 to the end of the list, the listings for Age and Sex were
transposed; they have been transcribed as they were intended.
The Captain's name is John Hick. The surname has been recorded as "Heick"
on a label attached to the manifest.
Passenger #1, the "d" of "Revd" is raised with a line under it.
Passenger #7, "Ustates" sic.
Passenger #8, "Gentleman" sic.
Passenger #30, after the word "Plumber", "& c" seems to be written.
Passenger #41, "Sadler" sic.
Passenger #51, there is a blotch over the first digit.
Passenger #61, there is a blotch over the first digit.
Passenger #61, occupation is listed as miner.
Passenger #67, the age "56" is boldly written over other figures.
Passenger #75, in the Occupation column a word that is possibly "Collier"
has been crossed out.
Passenger #79, the age "4" has been crossed out. The word "infant" is
contained in open and closed brackets; other occurances of this word only
have an open bracket, i.e., "(infant", as transcribed.
Passenger #80, in the Occupation column, a word starting with the letter "B"
has been crossed out.
Passenger #83, "not Christened" is written in the left margin. The gender is
not specified in the "Sex" column.
