recorder.
The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read due to
quality of original document.

Passenger  38:  Occupation could be Silk Blaxter, meaning bleacher, or one 
  who bleaches cloth
Passenger  62:   ? could be a capital 'i'.
Passenger 116:  Even though Barnard and Burnard are passengers listed in
  this order, the letters 'a' and 'u' are very distinct.
Passenger 128:  There is a line drawn through 'Mary' but not her surname.
Passenger 145:  This surname could be Tennblity.
Passenger 176:  Part of a line from another page is through the given name.
Passenger 202:  ? could be two 'n' s.
Passenger 224:  Given name is spelled this way by the original recorder.
Passenger 262:  First letter of surname could be 'M' or 'N'.  There is a
  small smudge on the letter.
Passenger 274:  ? could be a 'u' or 'n'.
Passenger 277:  Surname is very difficult to decipher as it appears to be
  'u' or 'n' s.
Passenger 325:  'United States' was entered by original recorder so do not
  know if this was an error since the mother is 'Scotland'.
