Transcriber's Notes:

The column, "Date and Cause of Death" was eliminated from this transcription as there were 
no deaths on this passage. The "Location of compartment or space occupied" column was not
filled in, except to note two passengers who were Cabin passengers.

The original lister numbered the passengers, did a recapitulation and signed the document at 
the end of the page.  The recap does not add up with the number of passengers listed - it
is one too many.

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.


13  Surname:  Sidell, Lidell. Age:  This is overwritten.  It appears he is either 26 years 
    old or 46 years old.
17  The word "3 Children" has been crossed out.  Further below on the list is one child -
    #41, Mary Welsh, 7 years of age.  She is noted as "Daughter to Mary Welsh above". 
    Below that entry are two other children, not with the same name, but the same age. 
    The girl is identified as "Daughter", but it is not clear if these are the children as
    recorded above.
31  It appears this passenger is mistakenly identified as a Female.
36  There is an "x" written next to the number on the list.  At times, recorders used this
    to denote someone who was ill on the voyage.
39  The name is clearly written as Johan, a male name, but it appears this passenger is a
    female, widow.  Perhaps the name should be Johana?
44 and 45  These names are written sideways along the last column, with no other information
    recorded, except that they are American travellers.
