Wherever possible the transcriber used an apparent equivalent amount of question marks to give a sense of the amount of letters in names. No one died on the voyage and all passenegers are from England and intending to inhabit America. All passengers are listed as berthing Between Decks, so these four columns are not included to save space Names are transcribed as they appeared. Names like Wm or Elizth or Saml or Margt have the last letter or two raised above the middle of the rest of the letters Passenger 17 last name may be Fowler Passenger 25 last name may be Manilow Passenger 32 name may be Thos Smith Passengers 55, 56 and 57 last name may be Yates Passenger 72 last name may be Owens Passengers 106, 107, 108 are listed as wife but seem not to be due to age or sex Passenger 108 first name may be Henry Passengers 113, 114 and 115 last name may be Adamson or Adamsen Passengers 114 and 115 seem to have the genders crossed Passenger 117 last name may be Pearson Passenger 123 last name may be Owens or Owen Passenger 127 last name may be Ingram Passenger 138 First letter of last name may be T Passengers 152, 153, 154, 155 and 156 last name may be Percell or Powell Passenger 161 Last name might be Wilkins Passenger 166 name may be James or Jarvis
