Transcriber's Notes:
The column, "Date and Cause of Death" was eliminated from this transcription as there
were no deaths on this passage. The column for "Occupation" was also eliminated, for
the lister wrote "Farmers, Mechanics and Labourers" down the column, with no reference
to a particular passenger.
The original lister numbered the passengers and provided a recapitulation at the end
of the document. He mis-numbered at #109, so the numbers are not correct beyond that
point. The transcriber continued the numbering consecutively. The recapitulation was
off by one. There was 1 in the deck house and 11 in the cabin and 172 between decks,
which totals to 184, the correct number.
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 the 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.
19 This name is at the fold of the document. It may be Margaret Cullin or Cullins.
20 The third letter in the surname goes above the line, as well as the fourth,
possibly, as in "b", "l", "t"; the last one or two are on the line, neither
going above nor below the line, as in "e", "n", etc.
22 and 23 Quine or Quinn.
30 Name could possibly be Parkinson. Paper is wrinkled at this point.
44 This document has been wrinkled and taped over. One page is taped over the other
at this point and the name is not able to be seen. It is a good assumption that
this child is another of the Leonard children, though, and certainly a male.
77 The manifest pages were laid one over the other when photocopied and this one
was under the page above.
89 This name is at the fold and has been taped over. It is too dark to be read.
109-111 The name appears to be Gulagher, but is probably Galagher
150 Marmison, Marmion, Mannison.
180 Delancy, Delaney.
