Transcriber's Notes:
#10-11 age for #10 not recorded, but as the child at #8 was also labeled
gentlewoman, perhaps #10 was also very young. For #11, no other
information at all.
#14 surname looks like McCormell, but if this was recopied from a first
draft, perhaps it was originally McConnell.
#16-17 residence probably Newtown Limavady.
#25-26 surname could be Gourley or Gaurley. Residence spelled as found
with r, but perhaps could be Aughrim. It also looks like Artigrim.
#27-31 town or county written as L Derry on the original.
#38 age could be 18 or 19.
#45 age 22 or 24.
#48 surname could be Divin or Divir.
#52-53 surname on crease of original. Something like St??ts or Sh??ts but
not certain. Residence possibly Magherafelt but not definite about the
first 2 letters.
#54-56 baggage bracketed together.
#56 age possibly 20 or 26.
#58 age possibly 20 or 26.
#60-61 their baggage bracketed together.
#66-71 baggage all bracketed together with McLaughlin included.
#82-83 baggage bracketed together.
#89 surname looks like Maurnn or Maunn.
#94-95 ages could be 30 or 36.
#103-103 perhaps relatives of the captain. Residence could be spelled
Lettersheneny or Lettershenessy or Lettershenerry, but cannot be certain.
