Transcriber's Notes:     
All the passengers from #7 to #26 were marked with ditto marks in the 
destination column, as if they were intending to become inhabitants of 
Ireland.  Probably the original writer meant to mark them for the 
United States.

  #2 & #4 surname looks like Dickerzean.
  #6 no first name written, and surname looks like Periston or Pinister 
     or variation.
  #7 surname probably Larkin.
  #8 surname possibly Morse, but not certain.
  #9 first name possibly Trulock.
 #13 surname could be Rodrey or Rodawy or similar.
 #15 age 24 or 26.
 #16 age could be 52 or 32.
