Transcriber's Notes:

The column, "Date and Cause of Death" was eliminated from this transcription as there 
were no deaths on this passage.  The original lister used this column instead to record
the baggage carried by the passengers.  A bracket is used to connect those travelling 
together.

The original lister did not number the passengers, but did record the number "48" at
the end of the document, which reconciles with the number of passengers on this 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 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.

23  It appears that the name "Martin" has been crossed out and the name Walter written
    under the name as the given name. The document appears to be debrided at this point.  
    Name possibilities:  Golding, Bolding, Holding. This first letter cannot be read.
43  There is an "X" after this passenger's name.  At times this was used to denote a
    passenger who was ill on the voyage.
