Transcriber's Notes:
* This ship was recorded as the "James Kerr" on the first
page, but that was written by someone other than those
who wrote the manifest, where it was recorded as the
"John Kerr" on two different pages.
* The captain's name was something like Teritt or Tentt.
#19 surname could be Dearny or Deaney.
#22 occupation could be storekeeper.
#23 surname possibly Sheils or Shrils, but not at all certain.
#24 surname does not appear to be the same as previous
passenger, looks like Shatn.
#25 surname could be Henley or Hanley or Harley.
#36 surname possibly Baxter or Basler.
#42 first name could be Daniel or David.
#43-44 surname could be Diver or Devin; occupation
for #43 possibly is "general servant" though can only read
the g in first word; for #44 could be baker or barber.
#45 first name possibly Nancy, but very light.
#48 surname could be McGranahan.
#49 surname could be Kelly or Kelso, possibly Kelly as
the next passenger is a Kelly; there is also a Kelvin on board.
#53 very light and a lot of damage; age possibly 20 or 50;
occupation could be farmer. Surname indecipherable.
#55 surname could be Lirey (possibly for Leary) or Liney or Livey.
#57 surname probably McCue.
#59-60 surname possibly spelled McConossy or McConomy or McConorry
or McCononery.
#67 age could be 38.
#75 surname could be Parke or Parker.
#80 age possibly 16 or 14.
#83 age possibly 26.
#84 surname could be Warnock or Warnoak.
#85 surname could be O'Brien or Brien.
#92 surname possibly Withero.
#98 occupation possibly servant, but very light film.
#104 middle initial could be J or A.
#105 surname possibly Cronan, alternative spelling for Cronin.
#106 surname could be McGonegal or McDonegal.
#107 first name possibly Pat.
#109 age could be 28 or 23.
#133 surname could be McMonagh or McMonagle.
#136 surname same as #59-60.
#139-140 though these surnames were written differently,
it is possible that they were meant to be the same name.
#147 surname looks like Bonar or Bonas; age could be 76 or 16.
#153 surname could possibly be Bell or Bela; last letter is obscured.
#154 surname could be Maxwell or Maswell.
#163-166 surname same as #133.
#165 this could be the child who died. Though the final column was
cut off on copy, part of the column has the child's name written
in it, which on other lists is often the beginning of a note
giving the death information. This was not found for any of
the other passengers, so it is likely that this child did not
survive the voyage.
#184 surname could be spelled Stans or Stairs perhaps.
#189 age could be 7 or 9.
#201 age could be 16.
#203 age possibly 20.
#205 age could be 15 or 16.
#206-207 surname could be Faiel or Friel or Farel perhaps.
#208 name could be John M. Alen or McAlen, but not at all certain
of surname; very light.
#209-210 surname possibly McNutt or McNabb.
#213 gender written male, and Isabella had been written over
another first name, possibly James.
