Transcriber's Notes:
     
*  An * indicates an error on the part of the original recorder not the 
   transcriber. Many names are spelled phoenetically instead of their 
   more common spelling; Wever for Weaver, Minor for Miner, Murchent for 
   Merchant, Makhanic for Mechanic, Ohin for Owen, Pheab for Phoebe,
   Brigit for Bridget, etc..  In the notes I have included common surnames
   that sound similar to what has been written.

?  The ? marks indicates letters or words that cannot be read due to the 
   quality of the original document.
  
*  The sex of the passengers was only given for passengers 1 through 93. 
   The rest of that column was blank.

*  There was one death on this section of the manifest Eliza Brady passenger
   #74.  The column has been eliminated.

*  The accommadations were listed for passengers 1 - 20  as U.D. or L.D
   which were probably Upper and Lower Deck, all others were listed as "in
   the upper between deck".

*  The first letter of the Captain's given name could be H or N. The surname
   was given as Parmler,  Pamler and Parmeler .

*  Hyphens have been added to Irish surnames. There were no hyphens in the
   original manifest.
