Transcriber's Notes:

* An asterisk indicates an error on the part of the original recorder, not
  the transcriber, or is used to call your attention to additional information
  in the transcriber's notes.

1. "The Shamrock" may be an Irish ethnic newspaper of the time, since in the
   next column to the above appears an ad: "Subscribers to the Shamrock in this
   city ..."
2. Passengers seem to be grouped according to their origins in Ireland, and
   it may be those possible origins which are italicized at the end of the
   names. Note that "Newtown Stuart" (in 1st list) is NOT italicized, while
   "Newtown Stewart" (in 2nd list) IS italicized. The first may also be a
   location. 
3. Where a letter is questionable, these are possibly due to 1816 printing
   problems, ie. type-setting error or inking error.
4. ** indicates Children
5. Passengers have been numbered for ease in identification. No numbers were
   included in the original article. Please see the full article. The
   transcriber does NOT know if these are complete lists of the ships'
   passengers, or simply the Irish on board.


15  Given name is spelled Augh; it is possible that this is a type-setting
    error, and the name actually may be Hugh
16  Family name may be Iloy
34  Family name may be Trevert
