Transcriber's Notes:
The column, "Date and Cause of Death" was eliminated from this transcription as there
were no deaths on this passage. The lister also did not show the space occupied by the
passengers during the voyage.
The original lister numbered the passengers, but did not provide a recapitulation at the
end of the document. It appears to be complete manifest, however.
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 This name is at the fold of the document, so it appears that there is a line through
the name. Although it cannot be determined for certain, perhaps the name is the same
at passenger #15, this passenger being the husband - W^m Knott?
15 and 16 It appears that this passenger is incorrectly listed as a male. Additionally,
it seems unlikely that young William would be going to Canada and his mother going
to the United States.
20 Browne or Brownie.
39 No age has been recorded.
