Transcriber's Notes:
This was marked a City List.
There are 73 passengers on this transcription, but only 72
sailed as the note explains for #41 James Bro??. His name
was lined out.
#4 no first name or age.
#29 first name looks like Haris, but possibly Hans,
though that would be too unusual for an Irish child.
#33 no first name given.
#37 surname Hale or Hall.
#41 surname perhaps Brown, as there were others of that name
on board. He was "not on board at time of sailing".
#45 surname looks like Cord or Cora.
#54-58 surname could be Mahan or Mahar.
Age for #54 could be 50 or 20, more likely 50.
#60-62 surname looks like Bahar or Baher or Bahan.
#63 age possibly 21 or 28 but some damage.
#64 surname as found, but probably Kelly or Kiely in fact.
