Transcriber's Notes:

*  The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the original recorder
   or is difficult to read.

?  Indicates a letter or number which could not be determined due to the
   condition of the manifest or handwriting of the original recorder.

*  There were no deaths so this column was eliminated.

*  Passengers 3 to 26 were bracketed with England, Ireland and Scotland for the
   'Country belonging' and United States of America in the 'country intending
   to become Inhabitants' columns.

*  It appears that the baggage was listed following the passengers name.


 2 - the surname Maguinefs has what looks like fs at the end but could be
     Maguiness
27 - the surname appears to be all small letters  that may be Musvin, Uniom,
     Unuin, Unsom or Unsim.
