Transcriber's Notes:     
  
Passengers #13 & 14 - Two Bridget's in the same family.  This is exactly as it was 
                written. 
Passenger #28 - Age looks like a large "A".  
Passenger #44 - Looks like Weab??   Six letters only.
Passenger #67 - The name is transcribed as written.  Andew.  Probably Andrew.
Passenger #99 - Margrate is spelled as written.  Passenger 88 was Margaret but from 
                99 on, Captain seems to have changed to Margrate.  
Passenger #114 - Female probably was not a laborer but that is what was written.
Passenger #119 - Age was written as a fraction, 1 1/2
Passenger #131 - About 9 letters, all small with nothing below the line or below.  
                 Last letter probably an S.
Passenger #133 - There was no passenger 133 noted on this list.  The number was 
                 skipped.
Passenger #153 - Occupation could be sailor.
Passenger #177 - There was no passenger 177 noted on this list.  The number was 
                 skipped.
Passenger #198 - Unreadable age.  Could be 50.
Passenger #201 - 2nd letter could be an L. There appears to be a dot over the i but
                 it could be a spot on the copy also.
