Transcriber's Notes:
The column, "Died on the Voyage" was eliminated from this transcription as there
were no deaths on this passage.
The "Part of the Vessel occupied" column was filled with the words "Yes" or "No",
rather than the location. It is not known what this signifies, but it may concern
their having been in the United States previously.
The original lister did not number the passengers and did not provide a recapitulation
at the end of the Manifest, but it appears to be a complete manifest.
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.
14 and 15 Hagast, Hoquet.
34 This name is impossible to read. It begins with "T" and then has a series of letters
which are on the line, neither going above or below it, such as "n","s","e", etc. and
then ends in -ale or -cle.
49 Mansugh, Manaugh, Mansagh.
63 and 64 Pagedt, Pagest.
91 and 92 Weech, Wesch.
119 Hilberg, Hilbery.
136 Bessmer, Bussner, Bunner.
164 The missing letters are on the line, neither going above the line, nor below, as in
a series of "u", "o", "a", "s" or "n". Monan, Munen, Manan, etc.
