Transcriber's Notes:
A question mark (?) indicates a letter or a number that can not be transcribed
definitely.
An asterisk (*) indicates either difficulty in deciphering the handwriting of the
manifest or something in the Transcriber's Notes to which the reader should refer.
A caret (^) indicates that the following letter in a word or name is superscripted.
The transcriber numbers the passengers consecutively, even though they are not
numbered in the original manifest.
The transcriber suspects the accuracy of some of the passengers' Native Country
entries, especially the many passengers with German names who have their
Native Country recorded as "England".
The Occupation of every adult male passenger in is listed as "Labr". While no doubt
many passengers were Labourers, it challenges the imagination to believe that not
one of these 267 passengers is a "Farmer", "Clerk", "Miner" or other occupation
common to immigrants. Consequently, the recorded passenger Occupations should
be viewed with some skepticism.
The Captain's surname appears to be written as "Walson", but might possbly be "Watson".
15 Given name is not clearly written and cannot be deciphered with certainty,
but name might possibly be "Geo" for George.
38 Surname is recorded as "Gaferey", but might possibly be "Gaffrey".
44 Surname is recorded as "Gaarty", but might possibly be "Garty" or "Garrity".
50 Surname is recorded as "Pen", but might possibly be "Penn".
57 Surname appears to be either "Teck" or "Feck".
64 Surname is either "Buil" or "Biul".
65-67 Surname appears to be written as "Buhel", but might possibly be "Buhl",
"Bichel" or "Bechel".
68 Passenger's age appears to be either 21 or 31, but more likely 31.
77 Surname is possibly "Reoerich", "Reverich" or "Reserich".
93+95 Passenger has the feminine given name "Johana", yet Sex is recorded as "Male"
and Occupation as "Labr", possibly a recording error.
96 Passenger has the feminine given name "Regine", yet Sex is recorded as "Male"
and Occupation as "Labr", possibly a recording error.
97 Surname appears to be written as "Heud", but might possibly be "Hend".
98 Passenger has the masculine given name "Gottfried", yet Sex is recorded as
"Female" and no Occupation, possibly a recording error.
103 Surname is either "Querlross" or "Quertross".
104 Surname is either "Heiss" or "Hiess".
131 Passenger has the masculine given name "Johann", yet Sex is recorded as
"Female" and no Occupation, possibly a recording error.
135+137 Passenger have the feminine given names "Marie" and "Sophie", yet Sex is
recorded as "Male" and Occupation as "Labr", probably a recording error.
136 Passenger has the masculine given name "Gottlob", yet Sex is recorded as
"Female" and no Occupation, possibly a recording error.
146 Surname appears to be written as "Sugel", but might possibly be "Siegel".
167 Surname is possibly "Queen" or "Quinn".
194 Surname appears to be written as "Winell", but might possibly be "Wirrell"
or "Winnett".
210 Passenger has the masculine given name "Johann", yet Sex is recorded as
"Female" and no Occupation, possibly a recording error.
215 Passenger's Age is overwritten and cannot be deciphered with certainty,
but Age is possibly 20 or 28.
219 Surname appears to be written as "Kling", but might possibly be "King".
246 Surname is either "Waker" or "Waher".
261 Passenger's Age is overwritten and cannot be deciphered with certainty,
but Age is possibly 20, 24 or 26.
263-265 Passengers' Occupations are not recorded.
