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.

?  Indicates a letter or number which could not be determined due to the condition of the 
   manifest or handwriting of the original recorder.

^  A ^ followed by a letter indicates that the letter was superscripted.

*  Names were transcribed as seen regardless of spelling.

 
 12	Sex recorded as male, is obviously incorrect						
 25	May be a title in front of first name initials like "Hon. C.A."; occupation
        may be"former minister" 	
 25, 26	Surname may be Connay or Sonway						
 27	Occupation looks like Salon, maybe meant to be saloon						
 41	Manifest cut through this line so information was not evident.
