  condition of the original document.

   1 thru 8---Possibly Dunled or Dunlea. ??
  19---Looks like Sleowy.
  43 thru 48---Damage to the document wiped out many names.
  50-1---Might have meant Lurehan.
  61---Possibly Bates.
 111---Died at Sea.
 121 thru 129---Suspect all these passengers are of the same family with either Sisson,
           Lisson or Wilson as the surname.
