There was no captain's sworn statement with this list, which was filed as an abstract. The captain's name was recorded as Blithens.

List of Passengers arrived from Foreign Ports* in the Port of Mobile during the Quarter ending on the Thirty-first day of March 1851.

Columns represent: name, sex, age, occupation, country to which they belong, country in which they intend to inhabit. The passengers were all marked Irish, and all intended to become inhabitants of the United States, so those columns will be eliminated here.

Transcriber's Notes: 
The port of departure was illegible.  The name of 
the port was about 5 or 6 letters, looks like 
"Ir?zer" or "Ch?ger", but cannot read it.  
Perhaps it was Chagras, but uncertain.
 
  #2 age could be 50 or 51.
  #4 surname looks like Flamens, but perhaps could be Flanners.
  #5-6 these names spelled as found, but perhaps they should be the same.
  #6 initial could be T or F.
 #13 surname looks like Waik or Work, and possibly another 
     letter on end of name, but some damage.
 #18 surname could be Hower or Houen perhaps.
