Transcriber's Notes: 
   
  The use of an * indicates an omission, error or an explanation of
  notations made by the original recorder.
  The use of a ? indicates a word or letters that could not be read, due to the
  quality of original document.
  The use of an ^ indicates the latter part of the name was superscribed.

 *Following Mr James Bell, the first passenger listed, all remaining passengers
  were numbered (1-527) and listed as 2nd Cabin & Steerage.  However for purposes here,
  Mr Bell is listed as passenger #1 and the others follow in order. 

 *Sometimes pieces of luggage were grouped together either for a family or a group
  of people probably traveling together.  These numbers are listed with the last 
  name in the family or group but encompass the entire family or group.

 *A running number of the pieces of luggage was written at the bottom of each
  page of the manifest and then totalled at the end. Those numbers are listed in 
  parentheses to the right of the name of last person for that page.

 *In several instances there was a star drawn and a comment as to the physical 
  condition of the passenger was written in the same column that listed the pieces
  of luggage. These comments have been put in parentheses by the transcriber. 

 *Sometimes the ship's transcriber wrote Inft for infant and no age in months,
  and sometimes he wrote Inft and the age in months.  In the latter case this
  was changed by this transcriber to 0y6m to comply with ISTG formatting guidelines.


  16-19    Two pieces of luggage were linked to this group of 3 men and 1 woman.
  25       Age of passenger indicates the occupation listing is probably an error.
  40-43    Three pieces of luggage were linked to this group of 3 men and 1 woman.
  71-74    Three pieces of luggage were linked to this group of 4 women.
  87       Letter could not be deciphered due to smudge on paper.
  99-100   Although these 2 passengers are "dittoed" as labourers, due to their
           ages, it is doubtful that this is factual.
  130      Passenger died on voyage, Jany 12 1851.  There was an 'x' marked in the 
           column following the age, and a star drawn after the word America in
           that column. 
  138      No country listed for this passenger, although she is listed as a Sexton
           and is traveling with a family group by that name.
  143      This passenger is listed at the top of a new page, but is obviously a member
           of the Sexton family listed at the bottom of the page before and at 9 years
           is probably not a labourer as the rest of the family is a farm family.
  158-168  Six pieces of luggage were linked to this group of 5 men and 6 women.
  184      Surname could be Keymegan.
  189-193  Four pieces of luggage were linked to this group of 4 women.   
  238-242  Four pieces of luggage were linked to this group of 5 women.
  253-255  Two pieces of luggage were linked to this group of 2 women and 1 man.
  260-264  Five pieces of luggage were linked to this group of 3 men and
           2 women.
  288-291  Four pieces of luggage were linked to this group of 2 men and 2 women.
