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 below.

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

The transcription preserves the original spelling. In many instances, passenger Destinations 
appear to have been written as they might sound, and many Destinations are simply 
misspelled.

The manifest scribe did not number the passengers; the numbers have been added by the 
transcriber to aid with referencing.

All ditto marks on the original manifest have been replaced with the actual words 
indicated.

The manifest scribe used brackets to indicate Space Occupied for each class of passengers; 
the Space Occupied has been written in full for each passenger on the transcription.

  3 Surname could be Burrow or Burrony.
 24 Occupation as written.
 43 Middle initial could be A. or O.
 52 Ending of surname overwritten, illegible, could be 
    Keer or Kerr.

 82 First name as written.
 95 4th letter of surname overwritten, illegible.
105 Occupation as written.
109 Name could be Bartholomew O Leary.
123 1st letter of surname illegible.

    lined through.
