Transcriber's Notes:
  
  A question mark (?) indicates a letter or a number that can not be transcribed 
  definitely.

  An asterisk (*) indicates either difficulty in deciphering the handwriting of the 
  manifest or something in the Transcriber's Notes to which the reader should refer.

  The transcriber numbers the passengers consecutively, even though they are not 
  numbered in the original manifest.

  5     Surname appears to be written as "Edmiston", but might possibly be "Edminton".
  9     Surname appears to be either "Stevens" or "Sternes".
 10     Surname appears to be either "Thorn" or "Thom".
 15-17  Surname is possibly "Arithe", "Avithe", "Avilhe" or "Avithe".
 18-23  Full recorded Occupation of these passengers is "Sister of Cahrity".
 19     Surname is possibly "Tommasian", "Tommaisen", "Tommaison" or "Tommason".
 21-22  Although too young to be nuns, these passengers' Occupations nevertheless 
        are recorded as "Sister of Charity".
