So help me God. (signed) C A Marshall.

Sworn to this Feb'y 15 1868,

List or Manifest of ALL THE PASSENGERS taken on board the Alex Marshall whereof C A Marshall is Master, from Liverpool, burthen 1507 tons.

Columns represent: given name and surname, age, sex, occupation, and the country to which they severally belong.

Transcriber's Notes:

  An asterisk (*) indicates either difficulty in deciphering the
  handwriting of the manifest or something in the Transcriber Notes to
  which the reader should refer.

  A question mark (?) indicates a letter or a number that can not be
  transcribed definitely.

  A caret (^) indicates that the following letter in a word or name is
  superscripted.

  The recorder's handwriting on this manifest is very poor resulting in the
  transcription being difficult and uncertain.  Though the transcription was
  done with care, the result is subject to errors and should be viewed with
  some skepticism.


 5  Latter letters of surname are poorly formed and difficult to decipher with
    any certainty, but surname is possibly "Cofferzer", Cofferger",
    "Coffenzer", "Coffenger" or "Coffeuw".
 7  Given name clearly begins "Je" followed by two or three letters which are
    poorly formed and not decipherable, and the last might possibly be a
    superscripted "t". First few letters of surname are also poorly formed and
    difficult to decipher, but clearly ends "den".  Surname is possibly
    "Neiden" or "Weiden".  Occupation appears to be either "LMaker" or
    "SMaker, perhaps an abbreviation for either "Lockmaker" or "Sailmaker".
 8  Middle letters of surname are poorly formed and difficult to decipher, but
    surname clearly begins "Weth" and ends "ly" with the middle letters
    possibly "ewe", "ene", or something similar.  Surname is possibly
    "Wethewely", "Wethenely" or "Wetherly"
14  Surname begins "Be" followed by two or perhaps three letters too poorly
    formed to be deciphered with certainty, but are possibly "ow" or "ser",
    resulting in possible surname "Beow" or "Beser", or something similar. No
    entry was recorded for Sex of this passenger.
15  Occupation is recorded as "Male" and no entry is recorded for Sex of this
    passenger.
16-17  Surname appears to be either "Ving" or "Wing".

    poorly formed and impossible to decipher.  Surname is possibly "Alout",
    "Alont", "Aloutz", "Alontz", "Celond", "Celoud", "Celont or "Celout".
21-23  Surname is possibly "Dornmand", "Dormand", "Dormond" or "Downand".

    but Age is possibly 22 or 27.
25  Given name is either "May" or "Mary".
27-32  Surname is very poorly written and difficult to decipher, but is
    possibly "Gemitat".
33  Given name appears to be written as "Borat", "Brian", "Briat" or
    something similar. Passenger's Age is completely masked by an ink blot.
33-34  Surname is possibly "Cennoy", "Cemoy" or "Conroy".
