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 original document. 

There were no deaths on board so that column was eliminated.
All passengers occupied Cabins so that column was eliminated.


Passenger Notes:
9  Last name definitely ends ulford. The first letter however, is very 
   difficult to read. It does not appear to match any of the other capital 
   letters written on the document. Tulford could be considered.
