Transcriber's Notes:

 No passengers died on the voyage, so that column has been omitted from the list.

 The original manifest is not numbered, but a note on the last page states there 
 were "Total 235 souls".  On the manifest there is a space under Margt Coffey's
 name that is blank.  This line has ditto marks in the last five columns, but if
 this was a passenger whose name hadn't been recorded, it would bring the total
 number of passengers to 236.  Instead the line was probably just skipped by the
 person who wrote out the manifest and does not represent an unnamed passenger.  

 * The use of an * indicates an omission or error made by the original recorder,
   or is used to call your attention to additional information in the Transcriber's
   Notes below.

 ? The use of a ? indicates a word or letters could not be read, due to quality of
   original document.

 ^ The use of a ^ indicates a superscript.

 1-2     Surname could be Beart.
 9-10    Surname could Caffey.
 11-15   Surname could be London.  The name is written in a crease in the manifest,
         but there appears to be a faint dot above the i.  This dot is not as dark
         as some and could be one of the many specks that appear on the manifest.
 18      Occupation on manifest is written as laborer, which must be an error as the
         passenger's age is listed as 2.
 40      Occupation has ditto marks.  The line above reads spinster, but passenger
         number 40 is listed as Mrs.
 48      Ditto marks appear in the columns for sex and occupation.  The last written
         entry for those columns reads male and laborer, but the first name for
         passenger 48 looks like Gwen.
 49      Surname could be Proger.
 55      First name should probably be spelled William, but the a does not appear
         in his entry on the manifest.
 59      This entry is written in a crease, making the first name hard to read.  The
         first letter appears to be H or K.  The second letter could be an e.  The
         third letter could be an a or o.
 63      Surname could be Laubers.
 73      Johann is generally used for males, but in this case the person is
         identified as female.
 97      The way Edwin's age is written it could be 56 or 51, but it appears to be a
         slight curve at the bottom of the second digit, so it's probably a 6.
 154-156 The surname could be Cranston or Curnston.  If it was one of these
         possibilities this would appear to be the only place on the manifest where
         the r is written differently.
 174     Ditto marks appear in the occupation column.  The line above states laborer,
         but passenger 174's age is listed as 7.
 218     Occupation listed as child, but the passenger's age is listed as 58.
