Transcriber's Notes:
The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the original recorder.
The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read, due to
quality of original document.
These passengers were numbered by the transcriber, not on original film.
Passenger Notes:
# 2 - Due to the handwriting of the original recorder, the first letter of the
initials could not be determined, it is either the initials "FHT" or "PHT".
# 7 and #12 - Their occupations are listed as "Labr", probably meaning Laborer,
even though the the original recorder used the term "Labourer" for other
passengers.
#11 - From the handwriting of the original recorder it could be determined for
sure what was the passenger's second initial. It looks like it could be
either "L" or "F".
#16 - Due the handwriting of the original recorder it could not be determined
for certain what was the first name of the passenger. It looks like it
might start with "M" and is either "Mo" or "Mic". The occupation of this
passenger is unclear. It look like it could be read, "Spinst". This
would probably mean "Spinster" since the recorder used this several other
places for occupations.
#20 - From the handwriting of the orginal recorder the first name of the
passenger could not be determine. It could be that first letter is an
initial in front of "Chars" for Charles or "Chaie" for Charley. His
occupation appears to be spelled "Trilor" but it is more likely that it
is suppose to be "Tailor".
#22 - Due to the handwriting of the original recorder, the spelling of the last
name of the passenger could not be determined. It could be either
"SchonicK" or "Schorick" or "Schonck".
#24 - Due the handwriting of the original recorder it could not be determined
for certain what was the first name of the passenger. It looks like it
could be "Margt." for Margaret.
#27 - Due to the handwriting of the original recorder the exact initials of the
passenger could not be determined. It appear to be either "JNE" or "JNL".
#40, #41, #42, #44, #45, #46, #56, #57, #58 and # 59 - Their occupations are
listed as "Mecht". Possibly this was the original recorder's
abbreviation for "Merchant" although he or she used the full word
"Merchant" for earlier listed passengers.
#44 - The last name could be determined due the handwriting of the original
recorder. The name could be either "Fonlds" or "Foulds"
#50 and #51 - Due to the handwriting of the original recorder and dark spots on
the original list their occupations could not determined. It appears to
read, "Splist" which as no meaning. Perhaps it stands for "Spinster"
since they are both younger females.
#52 - His occupation was partly block by dark spots on the film. It looks like
he was some type of house servant.
#53 - The occupation of the passenger appears to be is some type of engineer.
The first part of the occupation is blurred due to dark spots on the
film.
