Transcriber's Notes:

The column, "Died on the voyage" was eliminated from this transcription as there 
were no deaths on this passage.  In this column the lister recorded "Arrested in 
L'pool" for two of the passengers, #11 and #12.

The original lister did not number the passengers but did provide a recapitulation
at the end of the Manifest which reconciles with the numbering of the transcriber,
less the two passengers who did not make the voyage.

An asterisk (*) is used to refer to an item in the transcriber's notes, which 
further explains the entry.

A question mark (?) is used for letter/letters that cannot be read because of the
quality of the document.  Where possible a suggestion is given in the Transcriber's
Notes of what this letter/letters may be.

A circumflex (^) is used to indicate missing letters in a name or word. The original 
lister showed this by writing the final letter smaller and raising it above the line.


11 and 12  These names are crossed out and the entry is labeled "Arrested in L'Pool".
     They apparently did not make this voyage.
21   It is presumed that this infant belonged to Isabella Archbold.  There is nothing
     to indicate a surname, a given name or an age.
22   Surname:  Curkinson, Cuskinson, Cushinson, Curhinson.
