Transcriber's Notes:
* An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original recorder, not the
transcriber, or is used to call your attention to additional information in
the transcriber's notes.
? Indicates a letter or number which could not be determined due to the
condition of the manifest or handwriting of the original recorder.
* Name: Writer frequently abbreviates first names, ie. And, Cath, Eliz, Jas,
Jus, Jms, Margt, Robt. No suggestions given because of variety of
possibilities.
* Calling: 'Domes' probably abbreviation for Domestic; 'Labr' for Laborer.
* Age: 'Inf' is understood to mean infant.
* Country of Which they are Citizens: This column is used only once on
manifest, with passenger #1 (see notes below). The column has been
deleted for this reason.
* Intended Destination: Some passengers list a city with the passenger below
them listing the state. These are usually in family groupings and should be
obvious to the reader.
* Date and cause of death: Column was unused and has been deleted from this
listing.
Passenger Notes:
# 1 - On the line between the compartment location and death column is written
'JHC' and under it is 'Y White'; these are written by one person, but it
is different writing than in the manifest. Only passenger on the manifest
with a listing in the "Country of which they are citizens" column; it
says Ireland.
# 4 - Unclear; could be McChauf.
# 6 - Believe to be Henderson, but is written in such a way it could possibly
be Hindman.
# 8 - Surname is a bit blurry, could be Halsy.
# 9-# 11 - Are bracketed together.
# 27-# 28 - Unknown letter of destination is probably a 't', 'x' or 'd'.
# 29 - The loop of 'g' from the name above covers the letters, but they appear
to be 'ss'.
# 34-# 37 - Are bracketed together.
# 38-# 40 - Are bracketed together.
# 41-# 42 - First name is faint and dark. They appear to have same first name.
First letter is pointed at top, third letter drops down, last letters are
'st'; about 6 letters total.
# 41-# 45 - Are bracketed together. This page is too dark, so last column cannot
be read.
# 41 - Occupation is presumably Teamster, misspelled.
# 43 - Destination is faint; L is clear, no other letters go above or below
center.
# 44 - Occupation appears to read Painter, but middle letters are indistinct.
# 46-# 50 - Are bracketed together.
# 51 - J?? is followed by a period as if an abbreviation; dark letters, possibly
Jhn. instead of Jam.
# 54 - Occupation is Cal???der. Middle letters are unreadable, none drop below
line or above.
# 55 - Surname letters unknown are all mid-line with no drops or upward script.
# 61 - Occupation probably miner misspelled. Destination has superscript ending
that is not readable; probably ending of Philadelphia.
# 62-# 63 - Are bracketed together. Rob Scott age is not clear; comparing with
other numbers, my guess is 45.
# 68-# 69 - Are bracketed together.
# 70 - Surname fifth letter is mid-line, sixth loops up, seven/eight/possibly
nine are mid-line.
# 71 - First name does not appear to be Bridget, but could be. Handwritten line
from passenger numbering system runs through part of name.
# 75 - And has a period after it. Age could possibly be 48 due to writing and
darkness of copy.
# 76 - Surname missing letters are mid-line only.
# 77 - Surname has a mid-line letter following the capital which appears to be
a narrow upward stroke.
# 81 - J Marshall's age is blurry and dark; guess is 24.
# 86-# 87 - Are bracketed together. For location on ship she has ditto marks
for Forward, and Amidships is written on same line.
# 93-# 94 - Are bracketed together.
# 97-#100 - Are bracketed together.
#102 - Surname possibly Sheridan if dot on 'i' is floating.
#117 - Surname possibly Colnan; ending letters are not clear.
#119-#120 - Are bracketed together in the luggage column.
#140 - Age is blurred could possibly be 20, but more likely 25.
#154-#155 - Are bracketed together.
#156-#158 - Are bracketed together.
#159-#161 - Are bracketed together.
#162-#165 - Are bracketed together.
#166-#168 - Are bracketed together.
#168 - In "The country in which they are citizen", is written '26'; no reason
listed or evident.
#169-#171 - Are bracketed together. The final 'a' in Philada is superscript,
probably Philadelphia.
#172-#192 - Are bracketed together.
#176 - Possibly Jonson; there is a long tail out from the 's'.
#181 - First initial could possibly be an 'F'.
