Transcriber's Notes: 
*  Passenger numbers were added to make identification easier.
      
*  The death column has been eliminated as only three died and are so 
noted by each passenger.

*  Only ten passengers are listed with an occupation other than 
labourer so that column is left out and the occupation is listed in these
notes under the individual passenger.

*  The original list taker began by using "inf 4 mo"  but then changed to
"4inf" meaning the same thing.

*  Many given name abreviations occur, ie. Patk for Patrick, Will" for 
William, Brid" for Bridget, etc.  These " had no superscripted letters.
I replaced the " with a ^ so the search engine could find it.  Some 
instances of an abreviation such as Elizth with the th superscripted 
do appear and I have typed them as Eliz^th and Tho^s for Thomas.

* # 16 incorrectly listed as F, should be M
* # 39 Occ. Carpenter
* # 47 Occ. Farmer
* # 62 Mary Bryan died November 4th 1851
* # 71 possibly Cronin
* # 93 incorrectly listed as F, should be M
* # 125 Mary Dunn died November 3 1851  
* # 128 & 129 first letter possible "F" as in Ferraghty
* # 171 first letter possible "L" as in Lumany
* # 194 & 195 could be McGaballa but M not same as other "Mc"s in 
    manifest.  It is more separated from surname than others.
* # 213 Occ. Farmer
* # 214 listed as M, should be F
* # 220 Occ. Carpenter
* # 222 incorrectly listed as F, should have been M.
* # 225 listed as "do-do" in manifest.  Name not written out.
* # 226 Occ. Farmer
* # 234 no age given but died Oct 19, 1851
* # 280 Occ. Farmer
* # 284 Occ. Sailor
* # 299 Probably should be Smith but no " ditto mark on manifest.
* # 301 & 302 Listed as F, probably should be M
