Transcriber's notes:
No deaths occured on the voyage so I've eliminated the Death column.
US America was written in the column for the country the passengers
intended to inhabit. I've shortened this to USA in order to save space.
On the film, the Cabin passengers were numbered separately from the
Steerage passengers.
The captain's surname is either Savill Smith or Smith.
The following notes are listed by passenger number:
2 Keale Alexander - His age is too faint to read.
7 Jones John - The second number in his age is too faint to read.
23 Lo?kyer Herman - The name is either Lockyer or Lorkyer.
47 ?????? David - This area of the film is very faint, making it
impossible to read this name. Several of the letters look as
though they could be either M, N, or U.
49 Latch William ?ras - I believe ?ras is an abbreviation and
the first letter is either F or T.
50 Pl?hti?? Richard - This name is quite faint and none of the
letters in question appear to fall below or extend high above
the line.
67 Bryan Re?ia - The letter in question falls below the line and
could be either G, Y, or Z.
69 and 70 Bryan - The letter in question in the occupation could
be R.
71 Gill? George - This name is quite faint but there may be an E
on the end of the name, making it Gille.
73 Brown Elizabeth - Her age is either 20 or 26.
81 Rowe D??el - The given name is too faint to read.
82 Jilbert Banf??ld - The given name is either Banfield or Banfuld.
88 C?smore James - The name is either Casmore or Cusmore.
98 ?earman George - The name is very faint but I believe the first
letter is either F or T.
99 ?re?? Richard - The name is either Frenl, Frent. Freul, Freut,
Trenl, Trent, Treul, or Treut.
103 Fox Joseph - His age is either 30 or 36.
104 Hiargo ????erah - The first letter is too faint to read.
The second letter is either E or O. The last two letters in
question extend high above the line and both could be B, L, or T.
117 and 118 Rut?er - The name is either Rutler or Rutter.
