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. * Passenger numbers assigned by transcriber for ease of reference. * None died during the voyage, therefore this column was omitted. * Ancestry.com identifies this ship as Minstrel Boy. This transcriber thinks the ship's name looks more like Minstrel Bay. * Even though the manifest states that they all came from Greart Britain the fact that the ship deported from Londonderry suggests that many of the passengers were from Ireland. 39 Ink blot obliterated age, maybe 32 or 22
