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 the
quality of the original document.
This passenger listing lists the passenger's Surname first then the Given
name or initial.
This passenger list listed the passenger's occupation only where noted, the
field was left blank for the other passengers.
3: Note the British spelling for Laborer (Labourer) is used throughout this
passenger list.
13 & 14: It is noted that these poor children died on the voyage.
#13, Amelia on 5 November and #14, Wm on 8 November.
15: The Passenger's surname is Roy, Given name is Oliver.
16, 17 & 18: Their name is listed on the passenger list just as it appears above:
F and then several spaces followed by Hon. Clearly there was nothing written
in the space between the F & Hon whether the recorder was interrupted or just
why he left the blank space remains a mystery.
