Transcriber's Notes:     

?  Question Marks indicate letters that were indecipherable because of
   the quality of the original document or the handwriting of the original
   recorder.  In such cases the number of questions marks indicates, roughly, 
   the length of the missing names.

   Spellings are those of the original recorder, e.g. Micheal for Michael.

   An A in the age column presumably stands for Adult.
  
 18  Initial letter of surname may be either T or J.
 19  Surname appears to be either Beliniwitz or Belunwitz.
 20  Given name appears to be either Hode or Hose.
 35  Surname has 5 even points between the S and the -kly --e.g. Sinnkly or Sumkly.
 82  Given name is unreadable.  First two letters are possibly "Ka", "Ra" or "Ha", 
     while the final letter may be t, l or h.
168  Given name is unreadable, but the general appearance suggests James or Louis
     as possibilities.
188  Surname is possibly Landy or Lovely.
