Transcriber's Notes:   

There is a possibility that the middle initial of the ship name is M.  Of the voyages seen 
so far, twice the initial was M and 3 times it was W.

  1 surname looks like Kugarron or Kugauon or Kugarion.
  2 surname looks like Craisford or Crauford.
  3 surname if it followed Spanish custom would be Valdes Vid?s.  
    Second part of surname something like Vidus or Viders.
 13 surname looks like Cressuell, could be Cresswell.
 18 presumably the captain's wife.
