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.


4, 5, 6  Note 3 different spellings of family name; this may be a type-set
    error. But also be aware that these three may not be related
16  Family name may be Gonigle
22  Given name is spelled Edware; this may be a type-set error
26  ** indicates "Children"
33  Family name may be McManna
