Transcriber's Notes: 
   
   The use of an * indicates an omission, error or 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. The stowaway listed
   at the end was not numbered either. 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.
 
  *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.
 
  *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.

  *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.

 * The passenger count found at the end of the manifest did not include the first 
   passenger listed (Mr. James Bell), nor did it include the stowaway.  It did, 
   however, include the four passengers who died on the voyages.


  292-296    Four pieces of luggage were linked to this group of 1 woman and 3 men.
  317-319    Two pieces of luggage were linked to this group of 3 men.
  325-327    Two pieces of luggage were linked to this group of 2 men and 1 woman.
  340-343    Four pieces of luggage were linked to this group of 2 men and 2 women.
  344-345    Two pieces of luggage were linked to this group of 2 women.
  348        Child died on the 6th of Dec.  This was probably the year 1850.
  363        Occupation transcribed as written on manifest.
  372-373    Two pieces of luggage were linked to this group of 1 boy and 1 woman.
  382        It looks as if there is a line drawn through the occupation, probably
             because there are no other occupations listed for the women.
  403        After the notation stating "one eye gone" there is a small drawing 
             of a circle with the right eye missing and the left eye, nose and mouth
             in place.
  422        Although this ship is listed as arriving in January of 1851, the death 
             year for this passenger is definitely written as 1849.  However, it is
             the belief of this transcriber that the year is 1850.
  427        The death year for this passenger is definitely written as 1849, but this
             transcriber believes it to be 1850.
  438        The first letter in question is like no other on the manifest, it could
             be anything.  The second letter is either an n or a u.
  440-443    Four pieces of luggage were linked to this group of 3 men and 1 woman.
  474        Given name transcribed as written.
  484        Surname transcribed as written.
  490-492    Three pieces of luggage were linked to this group of 1 man, 1 woman and 
             1 child.
  522        Although this female passenger is listed as a labourer, the transcriber
             probably meant to write it for the man below.
